1.extract the zip to your desktop (not into a folder, literally to your desktop) this means there should be a file on your desktop called AppleNForceATA.kext
2. open Terminal, (/applications/utilities/terminal.app)
3. type sudo -s in terminal then your admin password following this, now you should be root.
4. type sudo mv /users/(YOUR USERNAME)/desktop/AppleNForceATA.kext /system/library/extensions
at this point the file AppleNForceATA.kext should have dissapeared from the desktop,
5. type sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleNForceATA.kext
6. type sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleNForceATA.kext
7. now, CLOSE TERMINAL
then go to /system/library and look for
Extensions.mkext, and also look for extensions.kextcache,
TRASH BOTH OF THESE (dont worry theyll come back on nxt boot.)
8. reboot and hope it works

Yeah, better to use Kext Helper as your instructions are a bit confusing to a novice.

A good reason not to use KextHelper is when you need to install a Driver for your GPU and you have no GUI while doing it because your GPU is not supported.

I cannot get Kext helper to copy to a driveto run on a MAC system. My network driver is the issue so i cannot download to the machine i am trying to install.

Your instructions just helped me recover a G5 with a failing drive that had decided to corrupt IOATAFamily.kext! Thanks!

[...] Además, hay que instalar el “legacy_kernel_10.7.0.pkg.zip”, cogido de www.kexts.com e instalé el SleepEnabler.kext, que no tengo muy claro que esté funcionando (sigo dándole vueltas a este tema). Aunque la instalación de los Kext es fácil, yo no me compliqué la vida utilizando el programa “Kext Wizard” que conseguí en www.kexts.com .

When I originally commented I seem to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I recieve four emails with the same comment. Is there an easy method you can remove me from that service? Thank you!
