Configuration of my laptop: I have oldy Asus F80s laptop, with 'not-so-low' specs. ATI Mobility Radeon 3470 HD ( working on Snow Leopard ) - Intel Core2Duo 2.0 ghz - Atheros AR5007EG ( working ) - 3 GB RAM - 250 GB HD You will need: - Another computer with Macintosh OR any file explorer ( too see hfs+ files ). I had one big problem - OS X installer won't see my HDD drive. But what i should to do when there's no AHCI mode in BIOS? Let's solve it.

I have iAtkos L2 (Lion) installed on my hackintosh and working fine. I downloaded Niresh's Mavericks as he said this will work without AHCI in one of his posts. I can install it but then it gets stuck on the apple logo. If I use IOATAFamily.kext it gives me a kernel panic. In iAtkos L2 there was a kext clearly. Oct 05, 2015  I started looking into Hackintosh stuff with Sandy Bridge, and now Haswell, hardware, and AHCI was a normal and default setting in the BIOSes of the respective motherboards. If you do some searching similar to what I suggested, that would be the most likely way to discover if there's a solution.

I'm going to make a ahci driver for my device. I download WDK7.1 and build the sample driver 'msahci' under Windows7 x64 free build environment. I use bcdedit.exe to change Windows 7 into Test mode, and then update the Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller with the msahci driver I built. The Windows ask me to restart my Windows.

Those kexts i was needed to make my OS X see Serial ATA harddrive (attached) - IOATAFamily.kext - AppleNForceATA.kext - AppleVIAATA.kext First method. Write your OS X image to any flash drive. Then drop kexts to '/System/Library/Extensions' OR just use kext installer ( recommended ). If you don't see 'System' folder on your Mac then just open Terminal and type: 'defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE' and then 'killall Finder' to restart Finder.

But if you use another file explorer then just drop those kexts. Try to install now. You will see your SATA Drive in device list.

If first method WON'T work or install fails then try next ( harder procedure ). Disconnect your SATA Harddrive. Get USBtoSATA controller.

( Uses in portative hdds ) 3. Write your OS X image to any flash drive. ( DO NOT DROP KEXTS THERE ) 4. Connect your HDD which is connected via USBtoSATA controller. Your installer will see your HD without any kexts. Install it on yours HDD which connected via usbtosata controller. When install finishes, it can stuck at 'Still waiting for root device' or 'USBF' log.

Shut down your computer. Disconnect USB HDD, connect it to any computer.

IF YOU USE MACINTOSH - then show all hidden files, and drop kexts which i attached to 'System/Library/Extensions'. IF YOU USE ANOTHER FILE EXPLORER or OS - then just drop those files to same directory. Safe disconnect your USB HDD. Disconnect your HDD from USB2Sata controller. Connect your HDD back to 'original place'.

Try to launch it. OS X should start without any errors. Tested on Mountain Lion ( 10.8.4 ) and Snow Leopard ( 10.6.6 - 10.6.8 )!

Thank you so much, I've been at this for hours - It was so exciting to finally see the NTFS drives appear in disk utility My machine is an ASUS F83Se, SiS 671 chipset Radeon Mobility HD 4570 graphics, running 10.9 mavericks prepared by the myHack app. I had to tweak a few other things to get the usb installer to boot however, At first it would with ' still waiting for root device', this was fixed by passing USBBusFix=Yes alongside -v -f when starting up Second, bluetooth kexts caused the boot to hang, I just deleted all 3 bluetooth kexts to solve.

Lastly, it seemed to stick at DSMOS has arrived, passing GraphicsEnabler=No solved this one.

All modern computers (5 years or newer minimum) offer AHCI modus. Almost all mainboards and stock computers ship with AHCI enabled. Just because there is no visible option in a Dells bios for it doesn't mean that its not activated or present. Windows does not necessarily need to display this, but as long as a controller is listed as SATA and you get full speed from that controller that's a good hint that AHCI is enabled. (Note:If it says only IDE, then is a clear hint that its missing.) So go and try to install OSX on your Inspirion! And as always good luck to you, mate.
