PureNexus Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hello OSX86 land, I'm relatively new to the world of "Hackintosh" and I've been attempting to install OSX on my laptop for months now. Every time I try to install, my HDD simply isn't detected in disk utilities. I've tried iDeneb, iATKOs, and Leo4All and none of which can seem to detect it. I checked my BIOs for the option to change the "SATA Controller mode", but it doesn't exist (I contacted my Manufacture's Support forums and they've confirmed that it's impossible to change that). So I'm now asking, is it even possible to install mac on my PC? Here are my specs: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/290314-is-it-possible/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Find Verdant's nforce guides and start from there. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/290314-is-it-possible/#findComment-1929748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureNexus Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 I don't see anything there telling me why my HDD isn't being detected in Disk Utilities. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/290314-is-it-possible/#findComment-1929753 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Verdant's nforce guides should have everything you need, you didn't find anything because you don't know what you're looking for. If there's no way to configure your drive controller from BIOS you need to find a driver for it that works with it the way it is. Your chipset is nforce so you're looking for an nforce southbridge driver. Find out what the exact model name of the SATA controller is, then read, study, experiment. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/290314-is-it-possible/#findComment-1929756 Share on other sites More sharing options...
verdant Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 @ PureNexus Your posted specs already tell you what you need to know: nForce 630M chipset and MCP67 So, search IM for guides dealing with HP Pavillion dv6700 OS X /MCP67 / nForce 630M installation guides…… Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/290314-is-it-possible/#findComment-1929892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureNexus Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) I did. I found a few threads (most of them had 0 replies), one thread had someone with the same laptop as me, so i messaged him a few months ago asking how he did it and have yet to get a reply. Edited July 3, 2013 by Gringo Vermelho Fullquotes removed. Please don't quote entire posts when replying directly below them, thank you.

PureNexus Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Okay, I looked through that topic. But I can't find anything that can help me. I don't know if it's actually there, or if I'm just stupid and cannot find it.
