z28kid Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hey Everyone, I am trying to go about installing Leo. Thats what were all here for, anyways my buddy has given me a cd with the xxx version. He ran that cd on his desktop and pretty much has everything I have for his system.. moatherboard was different but we had the same cpu. I was also given the iDenab_V1.4 and I am trying to install Leo on an old Hard Drive. Its an SATA drive as well and has nothing on it but a partition with two unsuccessful installs of Leo. I went through these forums looking for people with similar builds. I found people running my motherboard but im not sure exactly what drivers are working and I am looking for any help getting this installed. Thanks, The Build: Mobo: EVGA nforce 780i CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40ghz Chipset: nforce 780i SLI SPP (Hope thats correct, someone correct me if its not) Audio: HDA its the onboard audio ( hope this is correct also) Ram: Corssair Dominator DDR2 2x2gigs Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce 2x8800GT 512 PciE in SLi mode Newwork Adapters: Nvidia nForce 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet and Nvidia nForce 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet#2 (whatever that means) 4x Western Digital Caviar 350GB Sata in Nvidia RAID5 (Keep having hd's fail in raid5 so thinking about removing it) Vista Home 32Bit Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/171556-help-installing-on-the-evga-nforce-780i/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it that im doing wrong? You need to add nForceATA.kext to your DVD or install with an IDE HDD. Don't ask me how to do that, as I have no idea how.
