[Help] HP Pavilion DV5 1040

[Mywk]

Hey All,

 

I posted this here:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=156297

 

But i think i probably posted it in the wrong section so i will re-post here:

 

I have Notebook HP Pavilion DV5 1040

 

1- Downloaded iDeneb_v1.4_10.5.6

 

2- Tried to install, now i had "waiting for root device" problem, i think its because HD is set to SATA so I'm going to try something

 

3- Tried to install to a Usb pen from a old computer but when i put the pen on my Notebook it still says "waiting for root device", so i really have to set SATA to IDE

 

4- For 2 days i tried to change my BIOS from the one i have to a modded one but i found no Modded BIOS for my Notebook, its a INSYDE Bios and i was trying to edit it with Phoenix Bios Editor

 

Problem: I cant put my HD to SATA because there is no option to do that in my BIOS.

I dont know its version i only saw this reference numbers in BIOS: INSYDEHD, 3063, F3

 

5- Here i am, finally did to register InsanelyMac so i can ask for help:

My BIOS is the following one, can someone try to edit it or unlock it? (mod it) Or there is any other wait to do this?

Hi there,

 

I have the same laptop, the ideneb v.14 cant be installed directly on to the hard disk. There are two ways to do it ..

 

Install it via VMWARE or;

 

Install it to an external HDD and then dd the image to your internal hard disk ( Fujitsu 320 GB ) in my case.
