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

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.
