Sorry to hear that. Hope you did have a backup. My 32 Gb flash drive is so slow I rarely use it these days as I have 3 much faster 16 Gb models.
Lifehacker has a good recommendation on a drive speedy drive, the Sandisk Extreme 32gb for $45:

I don't know what is wrong with those people at Tonymac, but any mention of a nvidia chipset and you will be banned. Nvidia must have threatened to sue them.
That's not a law, that's a corporate edict. Punishable by... no right to customer service and support. Whoopidy. Samsung's EULA says I have to stand on my head and wear purple socks when I fire up one of their products, but I ignore that one too.I mean really, the whole thing is a sham - you're building a Hackintosh when Apple's EULA expressly says not to -

Meanwhile- software piracy and copyright infringement actually are illegal, which is exactly why TM bans discussion of those things. They're smart to do so.
mosslack, did you try this: http://www.osx86.net/view/3043-ati_radeon_hd5450_with_full_qe-ci_support.html

And Kaido, have you checked all the ports on your 6870 with multiple monitors?
I'm very happy with the performance of my 6870 card, but it requires a custom ATIConfig setup in my boot.plist in order for all the ports (dual DVI, HDMI and display port) to work properly.
Also, I run into white-screen problems when installing Mountain Lion from scratch. (I have to do a work-around that's not a big deal, still I could do without it.)
I'd gladly ditch my 6870 for an nVidia GTX670 or GTX680 in a heartbeat. (Of course those cards cost 4x and 5x as much.)
Thanks, I will check it out. I was told by someone on HQ-A that the kext cocktail from this page would provide full res and QE/CI in 10.8.4:

10.7 worked fine by just adding the ATI5000Injector.kext to /E/E and setting graphics enabler to No.
I've only tested 3 monitors at once (DVI, HDMI and display port.) Without the ATI frame buffer flag, only one output at a time works properly, and only via one DVI port. Without the frame buffer, display port doesn't work at all.I think I only tested up to 2. Did you get all 4 working at once??
Nice! Glad you got it working.I now have full resolution with QE/CI and it looks and works great!

I've got a pair of 1GB XFX 6870's, one per Hackintosh right now. One is on HDMI, the other is on DVI. iirc I got two ports working (HDMI + DVI at the same time), but it's been so long I don't remember exactly. I still hate using dual monitors, even for video editing
