PaddyBhoy Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi, I've managed to install Lion 10.7.1 after a few hiccups and with the help and advice of a few users on here, Everything is working perfectly except for the fact i cannot see my dvd drive that i used to install Lion. I'm not sure how i can resolve this, so I'm back for some more advice. Any would be appreciated Sorry the PC that it's installed on is a HP DC7900 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/274939-no-optical-drive/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 You need to find out what make and model drive controller the drive is attached to, and either install a driver or patch the existing driver for it. Find, install and run LSPCI -nn from a terminal prompt. Post the output here.

PaddyBhoy Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 The sata controller is ICH10 according to the spec sheet for the PC, let me find some drivers and see how we go Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/274939-no-optical-drive/#findComment-1788436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 ICH10/ICH10R works with unmodified Apple drivers, you don't need anything else for that. Find out if there's a secondary drive controller in there.
