Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology [DISABLED] SATA Controller Mode [AHCI], or SATA Controller [Enabled], or Serial-ATA Configuration [Enabled] 2.

If you are successful in getting basic OS X system installed and running OK, you can then sort out video, network and audio...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
