vilpostus Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Try installing this http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=88335 choose the version corresponding to the version of OS X you have installed. Download it. Copy it to FAT formatted USB flash (if you don't have a flash drive, burn it to cd/rewritable cd). With the flash drive still inserted, boot to OS X install disk. After selecting a language, open Terminal from Utilities menu. Type this: sudo -s rm -Rf /Volumes/DiskNameWhereOSXisInstalledTo/System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext rm -Rf /Volumes/DiskNameWhereOSXisInstalledTo/System/Library/Extensions.mkext cp -R /Volumes/USBdriveNameORcdDISKname/IOATAFamily.kext /Volumes/DiskNameWhereOSXisInstalledTo/System/Library/Extensions chmod -R 755 /Volumes/DiskNameWhereOSXisInstalledTo/System/Library/Extensions chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/DiskNameWhereOSXisInstalledTo/System/Library/Extensions rm - removes the IOATAFamily.kext present on the HDD. rm - removes the extensions cache present on the HDD. cp - copy the IOATAFamily.kext from flash drive to HDD. chmod/chown - sets correct permissions for the extensions. That's it. Exit. Restart. Boot with -v -f (may not be needed, use it if it doesn't boot) flags.
