Wayne Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 im not using a DSDT have read the wki and wouldnt have a clue about how to go about installing one of those unfortunately, backdated my bios to A17 from A18 to see whether that made a difference but hasnt what so ever, I thought this was going to be a little hard but not as hard as this seems all settings on computer where as have been suggested hard disc altered from ATA and everything , I dont understand what I could be doing wrong. even tried the other way of doing it via iboot (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) but no joy there also thanks Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
