androidkaita Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Anybody know a fix for this? I am trying to dual boot it with Vista. I made a new 28GB partition for OSX, and everything seemed to be going well, I set the new partition to active, put in the OSX install disk and rebooted, went good, booted installation. Select language, welcome, and then select destination volume to install the JASOS 10.4.8 Software, and there is nothing there! I then went to disk utility, and the only thing displayed there was my DVD drive. I so far have been unable to find a fix, possibly somebody could help me out?

R2k. Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 did you re-format that new partition with disk utility ? ~R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sama7896 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 first of all you need to give more nfo. Is your hdd SATA ? (most likely). Depending on the chipset of the controller there are ways to insert your deviceid in the viaata.kext under sata controller. good luck to you, hope i guessed right.

androidkaita Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 I did not partition with disk utility because my HDD isnt listed there either. It only shows my DVD drive. The only fix that Ive found so far that I am about to try is open a terminal and repartitioned and recreated the MBR on the drive with: fdisk -a boothfs -i /dev/rdisk0 but other than that what can I try?
