I am considering installing Mavericks on my new rig (either as the only OS or dual booting with Win 7), but I am very new at this and do not know if my hardware is compatible. Can someone take a look at my specs and let me know? Any help would be great. i7 4770k haswell processor Asus Z87-A Mobo Gigabyte GTX 770 Windforce GPU What other components would be effected or should be considered. Thanks everyone!

Ok I got the drive to display and chose to boot from the HD where OSX was installed. My new issue is that I get a message that says "still waiting for root device" and a grey box with an "x" through it appears on the screen. Help?

Soooo looks like I may be out of luck. I was trying to complete this on my old Dell XPS 420 system with bios A07. I don't see any options in the bios to modify the HD controller settings. Unless anyone has any ideas I may be stuck.

After installation from USB, it says successful and then reboots. I have the boot order to set to USB first, but when the USB comes back up, I do not see my HD to boot into the operating system. The partition is set to MBR and I believe it is set to active (although I could use some help in how I can verify it is active). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
