Drew,

Sounds like you were trying this before UniBeast and EasyBeast and MultiBeast tools?

I give 100% of the success of this project to the guys who made the UniBeast/MultiBeast/EasyBeast tools at TonyMacx86. Without these bootloaders and configuration tools, B and C-level geeks like me don't have a chance. Of course the A-geek can "simply" edit files... but I'm not at that level. I can RTFM and follow the instructions. I hate to say it, but it was very, very easy to do... the hardest part for me was attaching the heatsink/cooler fan unit to the processor -- and that was an exercise in patience.

My goal was to not spend $10000 to salvage my HD cards, yet get a year or more of productivity. Mission Accomplished!
