hello oldnapalm,
i'm having problem with DSDTEditor. I have sony vaio vpceb36fg laptop & i'm trying to install snow leopard 10.6.3 Retail DVD on it but i'm getting errors. I tried with iboot,iboot legacy, Empire_EFI, LegacyEmpire_EFI, Darwin Boot tools, & at last not least chameleon manually on the disk.
I Tried it with my internal dvd rom AD-7700h & now my DVD writer is not working & now i restore the dvd's iso( made earliar )on a pendrive with my vmware8 machine &still i got errors.Then i read abt DSDT & I came here to this form via tonycraposx86.com .
I got a working DSDT of vpceb34en from http://www.osx86.net. it nearly match my system spec like cpu ,chipset, dvd,gpu ati, and screen 15.5 but i have a full HD Display, & ram,hdd & gpu are different.I tried with it but no luck.
Now i found a patch of vpcea16fg.i didn't find find patch for my bios DSDT which i exracted with DSDT editor. so the spec of the vpcea16fg are closely matches to my system even os except the cpu i have i& the display. i tried this patch on my DSDT & go to the installation process still there was no luck. then i tried this vpcea16fg patch to the working DSDT of vpceb34en & still no luck with this time also.
I tried the two editors DSDTSE & the DSDTeditior & patch the DSDT.dsl i'm getting error like "error object not found " with no name of the error. i'm attaching the extraced with all the dwnd files plz help......
the errors im getting with the DSDT are:-

One Thing My bios is aptio setup utility 1.28.1119 copyright AMERICAN MEGATRENDS Inc.
i can access only my date , time, virtualization ,c3/c6, security & boot devices from my bios. I read abt that this bios is efi enabled then why can't i boot direct from the dvd or usb disk. i have spalshtop browser in my laptop which starts without os start or preboot without os. Is there any supervisor mode in the bios which stops me to access.How can i access full functions of this BIOS??
