isocore Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hey all! i'm a long term macuser, and i'm using an hackintosh since a year not having any problems at all since now! i have a 2140 overclocked to ghz core duo with 2gb ram, ga-945gcmx-s2 gigabyte mobo (ich7 chipset), and a pciexpress geforce 7500 512mb. My hard disk setup is two ide 70 gb and one sata 250, the tri-boot sequence win xp, ubuntu and iatkos 2 is on the ata disk... first of all the sata drive formatted in hfs+ disappeared from win but was visible on macos, then i rebooted on mac did a diskutility scan and repair rebooted on win and em back, but they disappeared completely on macos.. so i first erased the appleviaata.kext and changed a new IOFAMILY.kext and it first booted but no sata found.. then on the forums i found that maybe it could be a overclock problem then i declocked, but osx doesnt boot anymore.. it starts, shows the apple and the spinning wheel after a bit a FORBID symbol appears.. i changed again the sata drivers from win.. i booted and it worked! sata shows up too.. but at the next reboot same problem appeared again... so now i'm doubtful.. i want to save the system really! but i'm also ready to do a backup format all and put the oses on sata... What you think??? thanks for the help in advance!!! Ciaoo Paolo.
