jbjonas Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 It could very well be the fact that you are using SATA. Please give more specs (cpu, mobo, chipset, etc) Also check this out in the Wiki. (note there is no support for SATA on nForce chipsets) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10035-need-help-for-install-os-x86/#findComment-62796 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbjonas Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Your motherboard uses a nForce4 chipset (see here), so it will never recognize the SATA in OS X... You can add a PATA IDE drive, and it should recognize that just fine.

jbjonas Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 yeah, my board supports everything but the onboard NIC. I just added a cheap compatible PCI NIC that I had lying around. I still use the onboard NIC in XP, not that I have booted to it in several weeks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10035-need-help-for-install-os-x86/#findComment-63093 Share on other sites More sharing options...
