myHack on Dell Inspiron 530s

I have been using the myHack software to try to load mavericks on my Dell Latitude 530s. I have checked the bios settings and found out there is no ACHI mode, so i could not set that. The installer loads up fine and seems to be ready to install but only shows my flash drive after being connected.  What should i do to fix the problem.

Set your HDD mode to RAID, that should do it. Failing that, head over to biosmods.com where I think there is a modded BIOS that supports activation of the AHCI mode only (it's very similar to Vostro 200).

 

Please note that installation of OS X on the 530 has been very well covered on IM where you can find a good DSDT table.

I don't think those files would help much; from what I had gathered on IM, it's an issue with the HDD declaration in the DSDT table. Try the attached table, it's a known good working one from LatinMcG, a well-known Hackintosher and DSDT/BIOS specialist on IM and various other forums (I even use his 530s table on my Vostro 200 as it gets it to wake properly!!!):

i am very new to bios editing although i know a little. I have downloaded the tools and hopefully, as you said, they will work. but now what do i do with the files. Im assuming i have to flash my bios with them, but how?

You place it in the /Extra/Extensions folder of your myHack USB installer with filename "dsdt.aml". That'll load by default.
 
Please note that the Inspiron 530/530s is more or less identical to the Vostro 200 desktop, so don't hesitate to refer to our Vostro 200 Guide to install OS X on your machine.
