.:Eagle:. Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Ok, If you can try to obtain your motherboard model it can be nice !! I think that your problem come to your SATA HDD !!! I have already the same problem on friend computer and it was SATA DISK problem !! To resolve your problem you have some tuto on forum which explain how you can configure your BIOS / SATA CONNECTOR POSITION according to your motherboard model. When you know your motherboard ID, you can go to wiki to know if it compatible : http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page EDIT : You said your english is bad, where are you from ?
