mickoes Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Okay guys..I spent my whole day to figure out this problem and I'm very tired. My specs.. ASUS P4p800 Celeron (supposed to be D but not showing anywhere, only on the CPU itself) 2.4mhz 533mhz FSB AC97 Audio BENQ DVD/RW 2x256 Corsair 333mhz Maxtor 30gb (for OSX of course, I have a TOSHIBA 120gb and it is also not working on this HD) Additional Info HD is in FAT32 HD is set to be the primary master and DVD set to secondary master Jumpers are all OKAY rd=disk0s1, rd=disk0s2,rd=disk1s3, -x, -v and even debug doesnt work I have the 10.4.4 and an older version that still does the same thing This is a >PATCHED< DVD I even tryed to format in a darwin partition, and the hella installer still don't want to pass this error. I'm really bored..and I think that I'm not the only one in this situation. Thanks for helping..Hope I will get quick response. p.s; is the forum slow only for me? Mike EDIT : Drives are IDE 133mhz Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12216-searching-root-device/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

stokd Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Quick question to anyone out there...a really dumb question considering I built my own system :x. Is it possible that a SATA drive doesn't have a spot for a jumper? If it does have a spot for one, it doesn't have a jumper in it...could taking the one from my DVD drive and popping it in solve the problem of the drive not being seen by Disk Utility when I try install 10.4.5?
