so i waited for 10.5.2 because the nforce drivers were going to included in this one
I have all sata drives I don't have the option to use IDE now i get Still waiting for root device
anyway to solve this
The Inspiron 531 uses a motherboard manufactured by Gigabyte (arguably an ASUS board) for Dell. It uses a nVidia nForce 4 chipset with an on-board video card. It also has on-board sound (Realtek) and an on-board gigabit NIC. It has one PCIe x16, One PCIe x1, and two PCI card slots. It has four DIMM memory slots, and four SATA connectors. The 531 motherboard does not support PATA or IDE drives without the use of a third-party controller.
that is my computer ^^^^
