Hello all.
Dell Optiplex 745 here. I read all 8 pages of this first before posting (actually found this post via Google search). After attempting to use Yosemite (with Unibeast's progress bar staying stuck at about 20% overnight), I quit it, switched flash drives and tried Mountain Lion instead. Drive works now.
Booted normally to install..... the Unibeast and cartoon Mountain Lion came up, I hit enter....screen went black for a few seconds, screen flashed, machine restarted.
Booted single user, getting this error:
EBIOS read error: Error 0x04
Block 0x2b5c8a Sectors 0
and also Block 0x169d4a Sectors 0
Sitting here staring at it give me the EBIOS read error: Error 0x04 Block 0x169d4a Sectors 0 message repeatedly. What am I doing wrong ?
*edit*
Restarted..... in safe mode (-x). Same deal...except now I noticed the "flash" of screen I saw was the grey Apple screen with the logo in the middle. Hope that helps a bit.
