Install Issue on 10.5.2 Kalyway

[xenos^2]

Ok hi everyone, i have a GA-P35-DS4, trying to install Kalyway_10.5.2_DVD_Intel_Amd

 

Now I dont have a Mac at the moment, im not really familiar with much mac stuff but I am pretty good at Windows side of it.. I sell my time as an IT support guy whilst not studying so hopefully this isnt an impossible task!!

 

The problem I am having is in the pictures below, please could you explain a what I need to do, I cannot find any help relating to this problem elsewhere.

 

I am trying to make a dualboot with Vista 64, and I have patched my image with the recently released JMicron patch.

 

Relevant Specs:

 

GA-P35-DS4 Rev 2.0 Bios F11, Using Orange Intel SATA ports (ICH9R Raid)

Disk setup 3x Samsung HD322HJ RAID 0 AHCI, ~740GB NTFS (Vista x64 SP1) ~140GB (FAT32, soon to be Mac)

IDE CABLE NEC DVD-RW on JMicron Controller AHCI Mode

 

Thanks for any help.

I had that problem once when first booting the setup disc. It ended up being a bad burn of the dvd-ISO. I burned a new disc and install proceeded OK. This might not be your issue, but worth a try. I'd also do a checksum on the ISO for safe measure.

Wow, well I thought that there was only a slim chance of this working but it did!!

 

Thanks so much!!

 

I have now a seperate issue to do with my RAID array, the Hard Drive Boot Utility doesnt seem to recognise my RAID 0 array or see the FAT32 Partition I have made for Mac to install to.

 

All it can see is my hard disks and dvd rw.

 

 

 

Notes about success so far:

 

Remember to unplug anything unneccessary (USB stuff).

 

Set everything to AHCI mode.

 

Get and apply the JMicron patch (thank you Lord!)

 

Burn a high quality CD-R below its rated speed.

 

Burn using NERO and verify the disk, NOT some {censored} homemade writing software.

 

 

 

Thanks for the help so far... I have attached a screenshot of my current problem, there should be a 140GB partition that the mac partition utlity cant see, it recognises a FAT partition but incorrectly thinks its the whole size of one of my disks.

 

Specific settings for the hard disk would be cool, do I need to install osx before vista?

 

Thanks everyone..
