I have formatted a 3TB WD Caviar Green in exFAT to use across my dual boot Hackintosh (10.8.3). Whether I plug it into my extra Sata2 port, or into a USB port, my comp wont get past the Gigabyte splash screen.
I thought it was the boot order, but I checked and don't think that is it. When remove it and I plug in a 2TB Seagate Barracuda with some old time machine backups on it into the same ports, it works fine.
If i plug in the 3TB exFAT drive *after* i boot to one of the OSs, then I can use it fine in either win7 or ML.
Any thoughts on what can be the issue? I had piggybacked on another's post, but I'm not getting any suitable answers so I thought I'd make my own.
Thanks
