    Does it really matter that my hard drive is showing as an external drive on the desktop?

    Thanks. I was pretty sure it was a cosmetic thing. I have a 35" UHD screen so it doesn't actually bother me at all. I have all sorts on the desktop so an extra icon or two doesn't affect me. I may clone the system to another drive and then make the adjustments to the plist but right now I just...

    Does it really matter that my hard drive is showing as an external drive on the desktop?

    I installed Catalina 10.15.4 on my Gigabyte B450 I with Ryzen 2nd gen 2600 and it is all working just fine. Well, apart from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth but I will buy a Broadcom adapter for that. The one thing I missed when sorting the plist and ACPI was the fix for the hard drive so that it doesn't...

    Almost Perfect ASUS B450 Ryzen 5 3600 5700XT setup (sleep issue remaining)

    I had the sleep/wake issue but just disabled sleep so no longer an issue :) Slightly off-topic though, @Mo Al did you update your bios on the B450 and Catalina still worked ok? I updated my Gigabyte B450 I to Bios version F60 so I would be able to run a Gen3 Ryzen but then I could not boot...

    Should I update my bios after successful Catalina install? Gigabyte B450 I Aorus Pro WIFI

    I had to roll back the bios in order to get Catalina to boot again. I did try altering the settings in the updated bios but nothing seemed to work, unless I missed something? So now I need to decide on whether I should buy the Ryzen 5 3500X 3rd Gen or stick with a 2nd Gen such as the Ryzen 5...

    Should I update my bios after successful Catalina install? Gigabyte B450 I Aorus Pro WIFI

    Ok so I updated the bios and it boots into Windows 10 fine but now when I boot to Catalina I just get a black screen with the Apple logo. No progress bar. So I assume there is something in the bios that needs changing or maybe in the EFI but as I cannot load Catalina I am not sure how I would...

    Should I update my bios after successful Catalina install? Gigabyte B450 I Aorus Pro WIFI

    I have successfully installed Catalina 10.15.4 on my Gigabyte B450 I with Ryzen 3400G however, as many know, the 3400G causes a lot of problems with audio. The easiest way to sort that is to change the CPU. So I was going to install a Ryzen 5 3500X. This is a 3rd Gen cpu and in order for my...

    Big Sur 11.0.1 Beta / Catalina 10.15.7 | RYZEN 7 2700 | AORUS B450 PRO WIFI | Opencore 0.6.3

    Thanks Gigamaxx. I am aware of how to create a boot USB and it does have the two partitions. Nothing I tried would get it to boot so I went to a Catalina install instead. That worked and I am writing from that install now :) It was not straightforward though. I had to switch from onboard...

    Big Sur 11.0.1 Beta / Catalina 10.15.7 | RYZEN 7 2700 | AORUS B450 PRO WIFI | Opencore 0.6.3

    I tried to boot from a Big Sure USB using the EFI supplied by owlly61 but it will not boot. Just hangs on the AORUS bios logo. My board is the B450 I Pro WIFI. CPU is 2nd Gen 3400G (onboard graphics disabled in bios). Graphics card is the XFX 7870..perhaps that is the issue? If I hit F12...

    Ryzen 5 3400G with Gigabyte B450 I Pro Wifi. Any chance this will work?

    Thanks for the response. I think the internal GPU is turned off when a discrete graphics card is detected. If not I am sure it can be disabled in the bios. So assuming I use a discrete graphics card with the CPU internal GPU disabled is there any reason the combo of 3400G and my B450...

    Ryzen 5 3400G with Gigabyte B450 I Pro Wifi. Any chance this will work?

    HI all. Great forum and very happy to be here! Here is my situation. I already own a 27" iMac, Mid 2010 but it is starting to fail. First, the backlight went so I am using it with an external display and now my Bluetooth keeps disappearing so my wireless mouse and keyboard stop working. The...
