Before I bricked it, I was able to get SuperDuper! to successfully create 2 bootable backups on a 500GB external drive on 2 separate partitions. One is meant to be a backup of the preinstalled OS X and the other is to be used as a sandbox. The issue I had with SuperDuper! is that it would fail while it was attempting to erase my empty external drive. The error had something to do with being unable to find the drive’s UUID. I was able to find the workaround to this and it worked perfectly. Let me know if anyone is interested and I will post my findings. Anyway, I assumed I was untouchable since I had two backups, but without access to OS X’s terminal or Finder, I am unable to set the boot drive to one of my backups. Again, I am hoping safe mode will work. If that doesn’t work and I don’t hear any suggestions, you may get updates on my progress at my own attempt at reinstalling OS X with help from the OSx86Project community. It is worth a try before sending money and my computer to Psystar to have them reinstall after I’ve only had it for 2 days. I think some of us are capable of finding solutions to the very few limitations of these Open Computers and I am quite determined at this point to get involved. Testing individual Mac updates is my ultimate goal with use of the sandbox that I created because I am a little obsessed with the idea of running the beautiful OS X on PCs and I would love it to eventually be a seamless experience. I was having a blast with OS X (this is my first time being exposed to it and it runs amazingly well on the Open’s setup) and I made plenty of progress before I decided to edit its system files.
