Alright so really fixed it this time last night after 5 long days of pulling my hair out. Getting rusty after all of these years lol, this was one of the things that you'll never find a fix online for. It may just be the lion installer i downloaded but anywho it wasn't completing the handshake at the end of the installation of anything pertaining to a boot volume and leaving me with a corrupted partition. After repairing the source installation created partition it updated the boot support and i was able to get installed. Certain i'll have the rest up and running but i went to bed happy :) I highly recommend you guys pick up SSD drives for ML, it is quite amazing

SSDs are great no matter what OS you use =). Don't forget to pick up TrimEnabler for your SSD as Lion and ML wont enable it for aftermarket drives.

I had a similar booting problem, when I installed from a usb drive to another usb drive. When the computer was booting up it would get stuck/freeze indefinetly whenever I hooked in the drive which it was installed to, even if I plugged in the drive while moving through the BIOS settings it would freeze my computer. However when I hooked the drive up directly with SATA it had no problem... I have a feeling the BIOS version I am on just shits itself with certain boot sectors...

Mountain lion has made it clearly obvious i need to update my hardware lol...gonna pick up one of the z68 evga boards and a 2600k with a new video card

anybody update directly from 10.7 to 10.8 succesfully? Getting a clean install is too much of a hassle because i have too many files to transfer.
