scorpionmk Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hello, First of all, as a new member of this community I have to say it's the best one I found Even tho I have allot of experience and knowledge in many IT areas, I honestly feel LOST in the hackintosh world... :S So I came here, seeing many people happy to help... Alright, so I'm totally new to this, I tried installing iDeneb v1.4 but it didn't recognize my HDD... Currently downloading iPC 10.5.6 PPF5 Final Universal with hope for more luck. I'm going to post my PC spec below, I just need someone to tell me which patches to apply, where to find the drivers for my rig, and point me to the right topics to read. + 2GB DDR2, I think nothing else matters. Problems I had with iDeneb v1.4: My Mouse was lagging, ALLOT! I switched 3 mouses until I found one that doesn't lag (guess which one - Microsoft Wireless Optical 2.0 :D:D) It didn't recognize my HDD at all, so I couldn't continue with install... Thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/171959-ipc-1056-ppf5-final-installation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 When arriving at the installer, open Disk Utility. If you can see your HDD there, format it with GUID partition map and set the file system to HFS+ Journaled, non case-sensitive. Then check again if the HDD appears as available install target. If it doesn't appear in Disk Utility, enable AHCI mode in the BIOS and try again.

SticMAC™ Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Question.... Why are you downloading a Distro that is already old and has been replaced by a FINAL version? Although it is claimed to be the same there are remarkable differences and will only add to your troubles SticMAC ... Currently downloading iPC 10.5.6 PPF5 Final Universal with hope for more luck....

scorpionmk Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Alright, I used AHCI mode, iDeneb finally recognized the HDD, but my Vista couldn't start... Any help moving to AHCI without having to reinstall vista? Also, has anyone had that mouse lag?

Beerkex'd Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Both are (very) frequently asked questions, use the search box here or google. There are plenty of tutorials on how to make Vista work in AHCI mode post install.

Braymond141 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 /rant Kind of pisses me off that these guys used the name iPC. I've been using iPCcomputers since 1999 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/171959-ipc-1056-ppf5-final-installation/#findComment-1184503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
