CPU:INTEL Core2Duo E7500 @2.93 GHZ
GPU:ATI HIS 4670 HD 1GB DDR3
RAM:2GB
Iam Running Windows 7
i want to install mac os x so i read and watched tutorials for 3 days !
and iam now downloading iatkos s3 v2 because i found it easier to install
BUT it seems that my M.B Doesn't support ACHI because i cant find it on bios

and if i can
can you tell me what is the best drivers i choose for my system in the "customize" menu while installing?
please help me
and thank you very much
and sorry if my english is bad

Dont worry about your English. For many of us here, English is not the native tongue.
You made your point quite clear. (and fat green)

Please read this and disregard the AMD specials. http://www.osx86.net/desktops/9746-g...-10-6-amd.html
The general procedure is always the same. For legal reasons, you must buy a OSX DVD.
Actually, all hardware you named, should run with 10.6 (or 10.7).

What are your BIOS options in the IDE or sATA settings?
Sometimes AHCI is disguised as "compatible" in contrary to "enhanced"

thank you
but in the guide it says "enable ACHI" Can I Just Skip This Step
I think its IDE
and do i need to use -v ?

hey
i installed it and the install worked very well
but when i restarted it gave me boot 0 error
i think this is because the partation iam installing on is not active
i tried make it active within the terminial but failed please help

Try to fix the AHCI setting first, it is critical.
Boot zero is the Mac telling you, there is no HDD found.

What kind of settings have you got for IDE and sATA in your BIOS?
Can you make a picture or write down your settings?

Finally i have installed it successfully by deleting my windows 7 then installing mac on (C) the main partation BUT when the installiation reboot and come to start i have the apple logo for a minute then it goes black screen what should i do?

heeeeeeeeeeelp

Post BIOS settings. G41 boards must have some options concerning hard disks.
The -v you mentioned earlier, has to be entered in the Chameleon screen.
How far does it get and what do the last lines say?

i noticed a thing... when i choose any ati enabler or driver it gave me black screen after apple logo.... and when i didn't selected any Graphic card driver or enabler it gave me the kernel panic "please restart your computer"... so what should i do... and for the bios settings there is NO ACHI support ... so what the settings that you need to know..please help and thank you (i think the problem is all about the graphic card and not the bios)

Look here: HCL 10.6.8 - OSx86
Some people were kind enough to post their G41 boards.
Obviously it can be done after some study.
Good luck!
