Puchito Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Hi all, I just finished installing 10.4.8 AMD test 1 Iso via VMWare. All is good, OS X booted fine and is up and running. All apps show sign of life but... for some reason I can't write to the OS X partition (or any other for that matter, as they're NTFS). I'm thinking that's the problem, since safari says "can't write bookmarks" and I can't even copy files, and all my settings dissapear when I reboot. I'm thinking my main AFS partition is mounted as read-only, but I don't know if I can (or should) change the permissions. Any ideas? My specs: DFI SLI-DR Expert Athlon X2 4800+ XFX Geforce 7900GT Seagate 7200RPM SATA 2048 RAM OCZ Platinum Thanks in advance! EDIT: ohh almost forgot. I'm having problems with my usb devices. I have to unplug and replug every time I boot for them to work. then again, I'm thinking this is because it's not saving my settings. EDIT2: More info! in addition to the above, I realized it detected my processor as with only 1 cpu... which doesn't sound good. also some sporadic crashing and what-not. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puchito Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Nothing? nada? C'mon, I'm sure someone has run into this... I did a little reading and it's still apparently an nforce 4 SATA issue. If some knows: Is THIS driver part of the Jas AMD SSE3 Test1 iso? Or should I "attempt" to install that? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bikedude880 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I've got two words for you and they spell out your problem: nForce4 chipset. EDIT: You might want to check out this thread: NForce4 Serial ATA Working! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puchito Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Yeah, that's the one I meant. I copied the wrong link. I'll have to try that... although I'm getting a used PATA drive tomorrow, so I might as well just use that for OSX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Unfortunately, with that link, users still had many problems and data corruptions. Someone wanted to change title to NOT working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puchito Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Yikes. Thanks for the Heads up Rammjet. Yeah I'll just wait for the PATA drive then, that should be a sure bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
