Nate Shoffner Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Last night, I was going for a quad boot, I was following the guide here. The only problem is, I have an AMD processor and a SATA hard drive. I successfully installed XP and Vista with no problems. I downloaded and burned Zephiroths AMD 10.5.1 installation and it starts up fine. The only problem is when I try to format the partition I have dedicated for OSX (FAT32) I get an "input/output" error. I'm guessing this is because of the lack of SATA support. I've seen around the forum, that people have had success with SATA hard drives. Should I be using a different release or what? Here is my system info: AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core 7550 NVIDIA NForce 320GB SATA 3GB RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Australisk Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Tried going into your motherboard settings (BIOS) to change the SATA mode? I remember not having lucky natively once but changing to legacy IDE solved the problem. Maybe that's your problem? On another note, I've sort of given-up on OSx86 at the moment because I have a Phenom and all that works is LawlessPPC (10.5.4!!!). I think my next motherboard/CPU will be from Israeltel, not AMD.
