Thrace

So, I hope you all can help me.  Thanks for reading.  I have a rig with one disk for Windows 8 and one disk for OS X and I use f12 at boot to move between then, Win8 using the Microsoft bootloader and OSX using Chameleon.  However, something happened to my OS X disk yesterday and for whatever reason, I just couldn't boot any longer to it.  It hung at the DMI portion of boot.

Now, I  had all my data backed up (including my extra directory, smbios.plist and everything) so I blew the drive partitions away and recreated an entirely new EFI-based GUID disk, reinstalled ML from my dedicated external USB install drive and then I copied over my extra folder, boot file, etc back over but I wasn't able to get in still.

Do you all know if I did something wrong, or if I'm missing something?  Thanks again for reading.

Hey guys, I just ordered this laptop from HP, and I wondered if I can do a vanilla hackintosh deal here.  I have a desktop hackintosh already, but I'm more concerned with this hybrid laptop deal.  Has anyone ever tried with this configuration yet?  

Thanks!

So I'm getting to the point where I boot from the USB drive and everything looks to work fine... until it's supposed to go into the GUI to begin the installation, and both of my monitors go dark from lack of input.  Any ideas?

Thanks!
