will iATKOS or Kalyway work with an intel centrino v1 or is it not compatible? Everytime i try to load without the iATKOS v1.0 v1.0r2 or v5.0 it gives me the cant find apple.plist or whatever my the case be. so can anyone tell me if there is anything i can or cant do. and if not can you tell me how to get windows back on my laptop

Perhaps you need to try the tips used for dv6000 series with AMD CPU.......see annunaki's blog entry here......specifically

 

F10 on boot to go into BIOS

- Set a boot password (not BIOS password) if possible. (This helps prevent the com.apple.boot.plist error - thanks redash!)

- Increase vram in to max which is 128Mb (Optional, but really improves performance)

- Set Boot Order to boot from HD first

 

Before power on...connect USB mouse - leave keyboard disconnected for now

(The following process has to be done as quick as possible or you will get an error such as "com.apple.Boot.plist not found")

- Boot laptop and hit ESC at the ESC/F10 prompt

- Select boot from CD then hit ENTER

- Hit F8

- Type -v then hit ENTER

 

Have a USB keyboard ready and insert it approximately 5 seconds after the previous step. (This goofy process is probably only particular to this model HP. It may be much more straightforward for other models/chipsets. YMMV)

 

- Repeat process if you get stuck at "waiting for root device". This is where many people have trouble. Much of this has to do with the system having trouble with ps/2. The kexts on the DVD are not perfect yet for this chipset. You may have to play around with the USB mouse/keyboard combination (what and when to plug them in) to bypass this troublespot and force the system to load the USB ones. I know I tried a LOT of things to get past this stupid message.

 

- Afterwards, the system may appear to hang (or stop responding), but BE PATIENT. It just goes through the install slow in some places. I had to wait over 7 minutes on some installs.

EDIT: I dont have a usb keyboard but i have a usb mouse. how will that work?

 

I guess it may have something to do with BIOS timings........you need to read the DV6000 AMD thread......

i have an intel

 

I know you have a HP DV6 series Intel CPU laptop........that is why I said

These tips for HP DV6 series AMD CPU laptop may or may not work with your Centrino v1 CPU and BIOS......given your problems, it is worth trying......
