egoyahoo Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hello, all. Would like to seek some advice. I've installed JaS 10.4.8 from a DVD drive so I know for sure that the optical drive works at the start. However, when the install is finished, OSX doesn't seem to recognize the Lite-On DVD drive UNLESS-- I boot the PC with a CD or DVD disk inside the tray. Is this normal when running OSX on a PC? Or would there be a workaround? Thanks.

Krazubu Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Change the master/slave settings to a different configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zibertron Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hello all, I seem to be having the same issue. I have tried to search the forum high and low, but I just can seem to enter in the correct phrase to find the help. I was going to try and change the settings like its mentions above, only when I took out the dvd player it doesn't have the normal jumpers. I am using a dell ultra small form factor pc, so the cd/dvd drive is probably a laptop drive. I also went in to the bios and tried to change it there, but the only option is to disable the drive. It shows up in system profiler under ATA Device tree as TSSTcorpCD-RW/DVD-ROM TSL462C. I am running kaylaway 10.5.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I set it to master, the problem went away. Alternatively, I also set up a new hard drive as master and put the DVD drive on slave again and that worked too. Maybe it's worth a try for you?

zibertron Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hey E, thanks for the reply, but I don't have a standard IDE CD/DVD drive. it has a mirco Ide Connector and so there are no jumpers that I can change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
