ok i will have a look. im more worried about the drivers. and do you know where i can download macosx?. btw thanks for the reply
@PumaSpeedDriftMost of your drivers, I know, are included with Leo4All, iDeneb, and iPC, if you laptop is close to mine, then you should also have the same chipset, graphics, (probably use NVidia Go and WIFI and Nforce ehternet.
honestly, i haven't heard of any of these. help?!?!

You can look at my thread:
Installing OS X on HP Pavilion dv6609wm →
and see if anything helps you there, since more than likley, your system is close to mine when it comes to hardware, thought there might be some differences.

Hello PumaspeedDrift even i have the same configuaration just like u but my problem is everything works with the use of "idlehalt=0" and with its use fan never switches off, its always on and generates lot of heat, so i just wanna know are u too using this same boot command or is there any other procedure to use leo without the use of idlehalt=0. mate

Yes, I currently use the "idlehalt=0", I have not tried my system without yet, might have to give that a try, now that you mention it, and see what happens. But so far, I haven't really noticed anything out of the ordinary per say --heat wise--.
Also I am currently using iDeneb 10.5.7, so don't know if that makes any big difference to not either.
