makwanad Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I have the same SATA problem as you do but with my laptop, I've come to the decision that it has something to do with the SATA controller but I have no idea on how to get round this. I have however heard that it's possible. If you get any updates then let me know as we may be able to help each other out here.

DarkAnge00 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 tryed whit 320gb sata hd same result i discovered in the utility menu there is a utility "system component" (or similar, it's the second from the bottom), there is a s-ata voice on the left, i clicked it and say "there is an error scanning sata device". on google i find some people solved this setting on bios the sata to "compatibility mode" but i havent this option in my bios Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118078-unable-to-install-any-version/#findComment-836518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
makwanad Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hmm yer I've seen that too and my BIOS doesn't have that option either, I'm guessing my BIOS doesn't support AHCI, I'm currently installing onto a USB hard drive, it's taking it's time but it's doing it. Do you have any to change your Hard Drive to AHCI in your BIOS?

DarkAnge00 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 yes i have the option ahci but i don't know what is and not tested. i tryed also the zhepyroth rev1 this work like leo4all and kalyway (no sata found) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118078-unable-to-install-any-version/#findComment-836533 Share on other sites More sharing options...
makwanad Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Right well you need to set the mode to AHCI then hopefully your hard drive will appear. Mac OS X will only install on AHCI.
