19rsn007 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 hey dudes I finally have the guts to try MacOS but now I run into the next problem. I have downloaded a MacOS patched DVD (I know it's not legal..but if I can get it to work and I like it, I will buy), I boots, goes into the installer but as soon as I go to the disk utility, it doesn't see my hdd. I am trying to install in on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo M3438G laptop which runs on a pentium M 735 CPU. It has 2GB of DDR2 mem and atm I have a 160GB Hitachi S-ATA drive installed. it runs on an intel 915PM chipset I also tried a WD Scorpio 250GB harddrive, but noluck. I heard I had to set the drivemode to IDE or AHCI, but my bios does NOT let me. Is it even possible to install MacOS to my laptop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dothacker Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 IMHO, I wouldn't even attempt to try. That old chipset will not work, and it's not SATA per say, it's IDE HDD with a proprietary connector, so it's still IDE, hence you dont have the option to set your HDD to AHCI on bios.
