Through CPU-Z, i found out:
*Chipset*
Northbridge NVIDIA nForce 560 rev. A2
Southbridge NVIDIA nForce 560 rev. A2
Memory Type DDR2
Memory Size 1024 MBytes
Channels Dual
Memory Frequency 160.0 MHz (CPU/5)
CAS# latency (CL) 5.0
RAS# to CAS# delay (tRCD) 5
RAS# Precharge (tRP) 5
Cycle Time (tRAS) 15
Bank Cycle Time (tRC) 21
Command Rate (CR) 1T

is this the right information required?

also regarding the partitioned drive, why isnt my drives from laptop being detected?
I even used 'Partition Magic' to create partitions for an HFS+ drive but still no luck!
If sum how my drives could be detected, den I could be sure that it would boot up once the installation is complete!

I tried making all format drives, HFS+, NTFS and FAT32 but none of them are being detected in disk utility!

Any thing i could do here to make them appear?

how could i change my drive from AHCI to Compatibility Mode! Because I read that doing so mite boot the OS from the HDD.
I also read you do it by pressing F2 ---> BIOS --> Advance --> and select AHCI to Compatibility!

But wen i press F2, i cant see BIOS screen or anything, I tried everything, f2, f9, f10 but cudnt find BIOS menu!
So my question is from where could i change that, because it mite work after this

Thanks

I would recommend heading over to hp's website and downloading a copy of your computer's user manual as accessing your bios settings will be useful.

AHCI won't help you with using P-ATA/IDE drives.

I had similiar trouble with using two IDE drives @ one cable on my old nForce 4 based desktop computer, but on a notebook you can't chance allmost anything about that. With using 9.4.0 StageXNU Kernel I had the second / slave IDE device at least showing up sometimes but I never continued to solve this cause my AMD experience was painfull enaugh to move to Intel

Maybe give this release a try: http://www.infinitemac.com/f36/leo4a...eleased-t1291/ - but be aware - I reckon (haven't looked it up) your chipset is using kind of unsupported 7000M Series GeForce...

the only thing is i wana sumhow see my internal HD seen in disk utility and it would solve my problem. coz realisticaly speaking if i always boot from my external drive, i hafto carry it everytime! I installed it just to make sure its working!
and as you said my chipset isnt suported, but i got it working fine! (Although internet isnt working, and i dint check the sound yet)
and about the link, its the older version and the menus have changed rite. So do i download the older version and try installing again?
Im slowly losing hope!!

although i want this to work badlyy!

Yes trying to install to your internal disk using the suggest old prepatched ISO that's using a different kernel is the only idea I have left.
Just trying to boot your system stored on the external HD using the Kernel i mentioned won't work.

im really sorry but i dont get you! so you mean i should download an older version of iDeneb and then try using the same patches and drivers in the link you gave me? you mean that might help?
i was thinking how about booting it with a retail mac osx dvd with boot132 etc. I dont know how its done, but i have seen it sumwhere!
Maybe that might detect my internal drive

thanks again for your time though

really appereciate it

Imkantus · #19 01-20-2010, 06:01 PM

Where the hell have I been talking about iDeneb?! My Link reffers to the release notes of Leo4All v4.1 which uses the 9.4.0 StageXNU (+ modified nForce drivers) instead of VoodooXNU - which I suggested you to try out as it worked for me in a different but similiar case....

I can not stress enough the lack of usability you will experience if you do not have a support graphics chipset. That would be my focus and if I couldnt find evidence that my graphics were supported I would look at different hardware.
