amontimur Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hello OSX86ers, I've got a problem. After long hours of research, I've finally gotten so far that the installation from the iDeneb DVD starts. Really exited I follow some tutorial to the Disk Utility, and heres where the problems begin. My SATA harddrive doesn't appear at all! I've already used the search, but I haven't found any advice (maybe I'm just using the wrong keywords) Anyone got any idea? My specs: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 ASUS EAH3850X2 ASUS P5Q (JMicron!) External DVD Drive WesternDigital WD6400AAKS (SATA!)

kelloggs Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hey amontimur I have a pretty similar rig to you (specs below) Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 ASUS EAH3850X2 ASUS P5Q Deluxe External DVD Drive WesternDigital WD6400AAKS (SATA!) I have had a lot of success using the IPC 10.5.6 release and then updating to 10.5.8 (pretty easy once you have flashed your bios with a modified bios). Installing without choosing any drivers works just f I'm at work now but I'll post the drivers i used if it will help. I used to have a HD3650 512mb and that worked perfectly, unfortunately that has been replaced with an EAH3850x2 which i am having trouble getting to work. If you do have any luck with the graphics card, please drop me a pm and vice versa. I suppose we are the only people with that gfx card (0x95131002). I have been looking for drivers for it for a while. Try the IPC distro, it should work like a charm!
