kafatson Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 i have an hp pavilion dv6607nr. with two drives partitioned one with vista and the other one is unallocated. here is my specs: 1.7 GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK53 Mobile Technology NVIDIA GeForce 7150M Altec Lansing speakers i've tried iaktos, but it froze at the apple screen. One of my problems is that i cannot get kalyway 10.5.2 to see my drive on the installing part. it only sees my dvd... i've also changed the unallocated to fat32, but its still not reading my hard drive. i've read in the forums that i might have to change my bios to ahci mode, but hp has this phoenix bios that doesn't change any harddrives... is there any other way..

xx66stangxx Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Have you tried setting your hdd as master and dvd as slave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kafatson Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 how to u go by doing that? is that like setting in bios? where hard drive loads before dvd? if it is that then i've tried that already besides i don't think this will work because its a laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx66stangxx Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Sorry I should have read your laptop specs, I thought that it was a desktop. So your hard drive doesn't show up in disc utility at setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainecrab Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Basically these laptops are not good for installing OSX. If you really want to pursue this start researching no one is gonna hand feed you information that is already there. Many of us have searched all day and then ask questions. Installing OSX isn't easy. If it was everyone would be doing it. Buy or use the correct hardware will make live alot easier. I have this same laptop and leave Vista on it cause its not worth it. So many things to do to get it to work. no video acceleration. If you wanna be busy search DV6000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kafatson Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 mainecrab first of all don't spam on my topic, also don't talk like you know me. I've been searching and researching for like a week now 24/7, and don't come in here and bull {censored} about u having the same laptop because u don't.
