Thanks for your great guides! And basically I can do those steps correctly, but there are still some points I can’t successfully follow in my 1000ha, and after digging all possible places/threads I can find, I still can only comment here to ask for help:)

1. In the bios updating step, I download bios your provide and try to flash the bios, the 1000h.rom can be recognized and loaded, but after it, system just told me this bios is too old and can’t be used in updated. So I have no choice but ignore it;

2. In DSDT patch step, I can’t find the motherboard package type in the list as your pic shows (just empty), but I still click the install and get a ’success’ result…….

3. OK, like many others’ situation, every time after I install the ‘AppleIntelGMA950.kext’ and ‘AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext’, I can only got the blue screen after rebooting

(As you said, if I install them before DSDT, such error may occurs, does it means I haven’t patch DSDT correctly, how?)

4. Sounds and Ethernet work fine, but batterymanagement/touchpad seem not so well…I have not checked them carefully because I was struggling with the display in those frequently rebootings…:(

BTW, I’d like to thank you again for your so detailed and professional tutorial I’ve ever read:)

I tried the suggestions but it did not work. But I found the problem. I had my HDD locked down with a password. After I disabled the Master pwd for the HDD, I was able to have access to the partition to install iDeneb. All is good now. Hopefully this will be useful for someone else.

Make sure you are looking under the partitions tab of Disk Utility. If you still don’t see the 2nd partition, but see half of the drive as unpartitioned space, just click the + icon and add a partition.

If none of that works, go back to Windows and add the 2nd partition which if you format it as fat, Disk Utility will then see it and allow you to reformat it for Mac.

First, I apologize if this is a N00B question. I was searching the many replies here and did not find a match.

I am attempting this on my Asus 1000H and downloaded the installation pack here, as well as iDeneb 1.4 10.5.6 and burned it to a DVD.

My Asus has XP SP3 installed, and I followed the guide to delete the second factory partition per these instructions. I have in essence one XP partition of 40GB, and the second newly created partition which shows up as a RAW unformatted partition. I basically followed the screencaps here.

I also updated the BIOS with 1000H.ROM per the guide.

So far this went well without issue.

Now, when I boot from the iDeneb 1.4 DVD, I can get as far as the Disk Utility where I will need to select my partition to perform a MAC OS Journaled partition via Disk Erase. Here is where I am finding a problem. The Disk Utility is not recognizing my individual partitions, rather it shows the HDD as one large drive. Now even if I want to select this main drive (thinking i’ll just start from scratch and blow out the XP partition), I get an error indicating Disk Erase failed, Input/Output error.

Wondering if I did something incorrectly, and if anyone has seen this as well?

Thanks,
Christian
