Toucanet Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hi. When I boot my USB with Mavericks installation, in Disk Utility I can't find my drive (both in ATA and RAID mode). Unfortunatly my BIOS hasn't AHCI mode (it's a Dell computer), and so I can't install it. Last year I had the same problem with ML and I remember I have solved it by adding a .kext file in the system/library/estension folder of my usb drive with ML installation. Which file do I have to add or how can I solve this problem?

PippoX0 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Try this one ApplePCIIDE.kext for OSX Lion .zip Anyway, if you have a Dell inspiron 620s you can enable AHCI by flashing a mod bios look here: In Topic: Help to install MacOS X 10.7.3 on DELL Inspiron Lion 620s See ya PippoX0 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293199-mavericks-vanilla-installation-doesnt-find-my-drive/#findComment-1959154 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PippoX0 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 set bios to ATA IDE compatible mode. That's it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293199-mavericks-vanilla-installation-doesnt-find-my-drive/#findComment-1959158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucanet Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 No. I have a XPS 8000. It' still possible flashing the BIOS? Unfortunatly that kext doesn't work. I have also tried AHCIPortInjector and ATAPortInjector but they don't work.

Toucanet Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 And how can I add it? If I boot from my USB drive I can't see the disk. Do I have to remove again the disk from the PC and connect it with SATA-USB Dock and then boot from the usb drive and add that file with the terminal from another usb in which I put the file from another PC?

Toucanet Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 So I copy from another computer the files in a usb drive, than I boot my USB stick with Mavericks installation, on Chamaleom I selection PS X Base System, I go to disk utility, I select my partitions OS X, I repair permission (how?), I boot again with the USB Stick but now on Chamaleon bootloader I select my partition OS X, I add the kext, and I will be apple to boot directly from my hard disk without errors.

Is it correct? you would use the machine you make usb installer, copy the kext above to /Extra/Extention of the usb or the hard drive you use to plug in you hackintosh. when you finish that, then you run myfix from myhack to generate new system cache, when you don't do this, it will not load the need kext above. this one first you could try one extra way like this, after put the kext above when you boot with chameleon add boot flag -f to see that work Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293199-mavericks-vanilla-installation-doesnt-find-my-drive/#findComment-1960114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucanet Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 The problem is that I have used the same computer I'm now installing Mavericks to generate the USB.

kvonlinee Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 that is not the big deal, you use torrent to get like iatkos lion version to it up and make the usb maverick installer with lion osx that. or you could use the virtual box to get the maverick usb installer.

Toucanet Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 Do I have to add that kext in /extra/extension of the drive or USB? In both cases I can't because I haven't another mac that reads Mac Zos Filesystem.

kvonlinee Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 virtual box to make virtual mac you have virtual mac then you create the usb installer. with that virtual mac you can add those kext to that usb installer no problem. then you do a regular install to the hard drive.
