Hi I have a dell studio 540 specs are: intel core 2 quad 8200< 6gb ram< nvidia 8400gs 512 pcie graphics card, wd serial ata 1tb drive, ts corp optical. i have been using iatkos v7 on another drive very well using the guides from this site. i tried the hazard distro for snow leopard but got nowhere. i Then tried the usb retail method and have have had sucess in booting into the installer. the problem is that it cannot see my hard drives. I have formatted them in guid partition and mac os journaled. In my bios there is no setting for ahci there is only ata and raid. i have this set to ata. My question is…is there a kext i can add to my usb image that will see my hard drives so i can install!
