craigsmack Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks to anyone who is offering assistance tonight. I have inherited a Hp Pavillion a1328x pentium 4 I have an Nvidia 6600 installed. My problem is I have 10.5.1 installed via Kalyway and It works(QE.CI) but just slow. I had a backup copy of my amd 10.6.8 install and plugged it in via USB and it booted and is actually working good with the exception I cannot see my hard drives. I can boot into 10.5.1 10.5.8 (via USB HD) or Win7. NO info on HWInfo that I can see as to my hard drive controller. Please help me figure out which controller so i can restore 10.6.8 image to the hard drive. I am assuming it is the applegenericata.kext but just wanting to make sure before restore. Again thanks for looking Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/275626-how-to-find-ide-drive-controller/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 You will want to find out what chipset it has, the IDE controller is part of the Southbridge.

craigsmack Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Muchas Gracias Gringo that's twice your Googling (and Hackintosh skills) far exceeded mine. Your the man. Trying a dif. distro on a dif partition right now. Will test out later but coming from you I know it's the right answer.
