The long of it: I have an hp mini 1115NR. I had OS X properly installed on it, using ideneb, everything (well most stuff) was working properly, when I read about someone being able to fix their mic online. I tried to install these kexts that were recommended, but essentially it messed up my install. Two things happened, my touchpad stopped working, and my keyboard also stopped functioning. I was quite upset, but was not as worried because I assumed I could just redo everything. Anyways, I went and messed up some more stuff, I actually restored the OS to factory settings (which actually randomly fixed some stuff, but not the keyboard or touchpad). So yeah, I was going to reinstall with iDeneb -- HOWEVER: I have had a giant problem getting ideneb to start again. I have tried to put the iso on a few different external harddrives with ddmac, and I think I have been successful, however, I have not been able to get them to boot from the bios by pressing f9. They do not show up at all (could they be not bootable anymore?) One of the harddrives was actually the drive i originally used to load iDeneb onto the mini.

Anyways, so could someone give me some help on the correct step by step way of getting a copy of iDeneb onto an external and making it bootable from the hp mini bios while there is a current copy of iDeneb installed?

I would be eternally greatful!

PS: I know that I could do the install from a External drive, but I do not have one.

Hopefully I was not too unclear. Just in case.

- I have the iDeneb iso
- My hp mini has a broken version of iDeneb on it right now
- I have not been able to boot iDeneb from harddrives I have put the iso on using ddmac.
- Therefore: I need to figure out how i can a) properly put ideneb onto a harddrive and make it bootable, b) boot up iDeneb on the hpmini and reinstall it
- The harddrive has not been showing up on the list of bootable devices - so i need to fix that, hurrah.

Theres guides for those HP Minis, google a bit, some threads here points to blogs or other sites

I've definitely seen a bunch of the guides, but I am having specific problems with making the harddrive boot ideneb a second time, and I have been able to find no great guides or troubleshooting for that

Did you manage to install but it dont boot? how did you customize your installation?

Basically. I have a current installation of iDeneb on my hp mini, but i broke it pretty badly, so I need to install it again. I've been able to (I think) properly put it onto the harddrive by using ddmac, I just cannot get the drive(s) to boot from the boot device menu by pressing f9 on my hp mini. They do not show up, which makes me worry that somehow putting iDeneb onto them has made them unbootable, or the hp mini cannot recognize them for some reason (even though my original iDeneb install came off one of the drives I have tried)
