Heyy guys
I just brought this computer off ebay for like $89 IT WAS A BARGAN! But I checked if it was lion compatible... For some reason its not recognising the hard drive in Disk Utility :/
I have tried to find the AHCI option in the bios, I just get lost... can someone help me??

Thanks

never mind, the BOIS is not capable, so it doesn't work, you can probably find an after market BOIS but I don't recommend it

What BIOS version do you have?
How did you get your internal drive recognized by disk utility? (same difficulty with my 745)
thanks
