Puntoboy Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 The laptop spec is: HP Compaq 6720s T7250 2.0 GHz 4GB Ram Brand new blank HDD (160GB) As I said I'm using the iATKOS 5i DVD and have run the md5 check on it. All is good there at least. I finally managed to get the thing to boot but I cannot find how you install the ethernet card. I know it's the Intel Pro 1000 card but where do you specify the drivers the device uses? I'm so used to Windows I really have no idea how Macs work, hence why I'm building one. Some simple newbie answers would be great. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puntoboy Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Well now I've managed to lose the ethernet card completely from the OS. It doesn't even appear now. Please help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puntoboy Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 So no one can tell me how to install a driver on a Mac? I find that hard to believe. I've search and all that comes up are topics just saying here is the driver... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puntoboy Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 Right so far so good. Managed to get the graphics card and ethernet working. Also hooked up my Dell BT mouse. Tried a few different sound drivers ( I have an ADI SoundMAX card) but none seemed to work. Also tried something for the battery meter which again didn't work. The next priority for me is Wireless. IIRC it has a Intel Pro Wireless card, but I don't know which version. It doesn't appear in system profiler. Please help guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
