Zixxy Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I am getting the exact same issue so thought I'd bump this thread. Any ideas? ;] I have one physical harddrive which I have partitioned. Both are formated and blank. File System is NTFS. Anything needs to be installed or changed? Many thanks.

gaykidsogay Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 it said somewhere online that leopard doesnt use FAT32 and it wouldnt work. i mean, it has to be something with my harddrives that isnt right. Because my disk drive shows up. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/122631-uih/#findComment-869915 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there, check that your HDD is partitioned as Master Boot Record (MBR) and that your target OS X volume on the HDD is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) using Disk Utility on Kalyway 10.5.2 Install DVD before going to Customize and Install......MBR seems to cause users fewer issues than GUID (GPT).....

Gujal Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Regardless of the partition type, format, etc. The disk should show up in Diskutility. If it doesnt, it means the kext (driver) is not available. What is your motherboard model and what chipset does it use? If the HDD is SATA, you can try setting the SATA mode to AHCI in BIOS.

gaykidsogay Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 As for the MBR thing, i have no idea what you are talking about. But i dont even get to the install part. when you have to go to Disk Utility, and chose what drive to install it on, my disk drive, and the install disk show up. no harddrives. The whole problem is not seeing them in diskutility=[ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/122631-uih/#findComment-869940 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole problem is not seeing them in diskutility=[ Do not confuse your optical drive CD/DVD drive (DVDRW) with your magnetic hard drive (HDD) in your posts!.....if you do not see your HDD in Disk Utility then as Gujal says you need to check you BIOS settings and if your HDD is SATA rather than PATA (IDE) then set to your SATA Controller to AHCI if that is a BIOS option......but first tell us your motherboard model number and the motherboard chipset type if you know it......

Gujal Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 OK. looks like Kalyway doesnot have the NForce 5 driver. Read this post/thread which is for AMD based DV6000 Edit: Ha! Haxi beat me to the solution. Good job Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/122631-uih/#findComment-869979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
