[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1564466, member: 56379"] Accidentally installing Mavericks...is like accidentally getting pregnant...it's no accident!;) As far as your old OS. I think that you just have to let Mavericks complete the install (since it was consciously started by clicking on the upgrade button). Otherwise if you try to halt it...something may get messed up with a partially installed OS. Then you will have to look into downgrading your OS back to Mountain Lion (10.8 I assume). Hopefully you made a bootable USB stick installer of Mountain Lion. - Nick [/QUOTE]
