Thank you! Looks a bit complicated but I will look on youtube for a tutorial. Maybe I can follow along with someone! Thanks again!

Hello, So I finally started to explore my Ventura installation and found that many of my external drives and usbs except for one or two will not appear when plugged in. One or two usbs that do show up are fat 32 partitioned. But other ones that are also partitioned the same do not appear. I have many externals that are partitioned differently -none appear. Another appeared once or twice and after unplugging then plugging in later it no longer appeared any more. There is nothing wrong with the drives/cables and preferences are checked to include external drives. The same drives appear on my Monterey install on another system ( My apple IMAC). Should I try an update? I am afraid the update will break my installation. Anyone have anything?

Ok, I thought about that but I'm not sure if that could create a bigger problem or a bigger confusion between a decision to boot into one or the other. Do you maybe think it's a better idea to go ahead and just install Ventura instead of Monterey on the other drive art this point? I like having a back up disk for when something goes wrong on one as it often does. Also, in answer to the previous post....I am not sure about needing to press F12 to make a selection, I just figured I have to since they are two different NVMes. I am new to Open Core. Do I not need to do this? Also, is it ok to update this installation without it breaking on me? or do I need to patch it every time there is a security update or feature? Thank you both!

Can anyone please advise which intel laptop (besides an actual mac) will best work with with Ventura and has the best battery life and easily repairable?

Hello All! I recently had Two installations of Monterey on two different NVMes. I upgraded one ( my primary disk) to Ventura and it boots up just fine. I did this using safari and performing a typical mac user upgrade BUT- Now my Monterey will not boot up upon turning on my system and pressing the F12 button and selecting the disk option on which one to boot. Does any one have any solution? Thanks NEW: Gigabyte DDR4 Aero G Z690, I9 12900K, AMD RX6600 (8 Gb memory) - 32 GB RAM, Corsair Vengence rgb Pro -Samsung 980

Thanks for the replies, I was pretty nervous, (felt abandoned in a time of need here ) almost all my systems went out at the same time, I managed to claw back all of them except for the one subject of the topic here at hand...Standby, I will be posting as requested...

Any response please? Or am I to be ignored? If so, why should my need for help be ignored so?

I just found that the other partition on that same drive which I installed Linux mint appears to have all my files from the bad partition which isn't being read as an installation source upon attempting to re- install from a bootable USB. I wonder if I can repair that partition from the Linux side and be able to boot up once again or maybe do a fresh install worst case scenario. Any help to be had or have I been left on my own?

well theres a box to check for single mode but then its a guessing game all over again...screen goes black, then back to apple logo and the progress bar of eternity with no hope, i dont get to the screen where im supposed to type that command.

Screen with apple logo and spinning wheel is on now

ok screen went black....

...ok, something happened, the white screen turned back to the apple logo screen (no spinning wheel or progress bar etc..) Standby for update....

Ok...well I was trying to show you the last two pictures I took but the site won't allow any more uploads... I researched how to get into single user mode and still wasn't sure so I tried a couple ways. I typed in that command and now my laptop gets past the apple logo but hangs on the white screen.

Oh by the way, I can access my Linux Mint partition on that same Asus K53E HDD if it helps my case. I wonder if Linux can actually save my Hackintosh partition.
