I've created a boot disk of ML, but when I try to boot from it, I get a circle with a line going thru it. Any idea on how to fix this?
To do a clean install:
Create a 10.8 installation usb drive.
Restart your computer and boot from it.
Go to Disk Utility first and erase your Macintosh HD.
Then install ML.
I haven't personally try it but I think this will work. I successfully erased the 10.9 HD and restored it to a ML Time Machine backup.
You can't boot the 10.8 installer if the 10.9 recovery partition is present. You have to delete the partitions (using the 10.9 boot disk or other tools) first.
I can't imagine doing it without adequate backups.I continue to see these types of posts over and over and it just seems that nobody learns from the previous posters. Why aren't people just installing Mavericks on a separate partition so they can test it out, (play with it)?
I can't see any logical reason for someone to install a DP over their current primary setup that they need to use daily?. Then they come here sorry and want to downgrade.
I have a quick question, so then how do you create a clone of ML?
