iDeneb boots up the installer. No drives are listed in the installer.

 

If I open disk utility I can see my hard drive with the 3 partitions (windows vista, windows vista cd recovery bs, 20gb empty partition as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format i made using diskpart in windows vista.

 

The problem is I can't do anything to any of the partitions. If I try I get a simple "Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed." Can't mount, either.

 

Why is this happening? Is it possible my toshiba laptop won't work due to some motherboard incompatibility? I don't know what incompatibility that might be...I'm new to hackintoshes. I used CPU-Z and made sure my processor can handle SSE2..it can, and it can also do SSE3. But, I don't think this is a processor problem.

 

Please point me in the right direction.

Thanks a lot!

Chipset (Northbridge): Intel PM965 Rev: C0

Southbridge: Intel 82801HBM (ICH8-ME), rev. B1

Ram: 2gb (1x1) DDR2 PC2-5300 333mhz

Bios: TOSHIBA V1.50, 07/11/2007

Network Adapters: 1. Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN

2. Realtek RTL8101E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0)

it also says

 

LPC Hub Controller 1: Model: Toshiba ICH8M-E (ICH8) LPC Interface Controller

a bunch of other things listed as (ICH8)

 

and under chipset it says, "Toshiba Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Express Processor to DRAM Controller"

 

I think ICH8M-E / ICH8 and PM965/GM965/GL960 are important. I hope that helps

I used Kalyway which was able to detect my hard drive in the main screen, but still not write to the partitioned drive. In disk utility I was able to click erase (not erase free space) and formatted the drive to the mac journaled partition format. Then I was able to fix, verify and off I went.

 

It's possible I could have done this in iDeneb; if I had clicked erase and not erase free space since even in Kalyway it didn't work when I clicked first aid at first.

 

Anyway, on to the next step...
