Coz I specifically mentioned on line ONE that: “THIS TUTORIAL IS BASED ON THE ASUS P5K PRO MOTHERBOARD”.

You might want to take 10 seconds to actually read line one.

you know you’re kind of an asshole. instead of posting a bunch of screenshots from a BIOS menu that will definitely vary from version to version why don’t you post the actual requirements? oh yea you’re a lazy pos.

Hi, thanks for this post. Sort of old, but let me try nevertheless: I have a p5k se motherboard with no AHCI option. In an ASUS thread somewhere in cyberspace, I read about flashing the motherboard with another boards bios to enable it. How safe would that be?
I have a 10.5.8 Vanilla Hackintosh, but no matter what I tried I wasn’t able to install 10.6, and someone suggested that the AHCI is to be blamed.
Appreciate your comments.

First off – thanks for the post highly informative!

Second – WTF? I shudder for the generation making posts here. “I huv xxx mobo, yyy gr4phx, zzz netwurkin – how do I make it werkin”? Grab a clue, experiment, get it working and make a friggin contribution! Too stupid to breathe and expecting someone else to do their work.

Sigh…

Hey does anybody know if you can install Snow Leopard on a MSI G41M4 motherboard. I bought a legal copy of snow Leopard but was initialy gonna install the os by using leo4all then update it with snow ;eopard. After the initial boot up, I get the apple logo then loads of data is shown on screen as if its trying to instal. The last line states “System uptime in Nanoseconds 937119014″ but the cursor is not flashing and its been like that for a few hours.

I have tried changing the Bios setting but havent had any luck. I did notice that i dont have the option to select AHCI. Apart from the mothrerboard, I know that video card, ram and processor are all compatable. Neither my hard drive or dvd rom are SATA, could this be the problem. Any advice gratefully accepted. If anybody wants to email direct my email is harry.147@hotmail.co.uk. Thanks.

Great site Backpacker, the guides are really easy to follow.

Nitetrain: Quick look at your specs makes me shudder. I would buy new hardware. Read my post on Snow Leopard.
