Kevin1986 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hey, Ive tried many times before to install osx86 on my machine with no luck. Now, i want to try it again. This time im gonna ask for help from people who know what their doing! Could anyone point me in the right direction to a distro, for intel, that will support the sb600 chipset, out of the box, and allow both IDE and SATA to run? Problem is, i cant get OSX to see my hard disks. everything else seems to load up fine, just cant get past that part. Ive read thats theres way to patch it, but no one every goes into detail on to to do it, or find to patches ofr that matter I cant use an IDE Harddisk, my mobo seems to only have one IDE thingy, and thats for my CDrom, if i put a HD on the same cable,it works, but i lose my cdrom Any help, any pushes in the right direction will be much apreciated!

Yung_Jah Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 If you are gonna be using the same cable with the CD-Rom, you need to change the Jumper at the back...less say you want to use the hard drive as Master..then the CD-Rom should be slave...in this case, both will work...both cannot be at master....if you get what I am saying.... Well base on information around google....it seems like Mac can be installed on IDE drives.

Kevin1986 Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 I get what you mean totally. I dont have a mobo manual, and its a manufactured-for model, so i cant obtain it, ergo wont be able to mess with jumpers. The IDE disk i have is only 8gb in sizeso i'd have to buy one, is there defo no way to use my sATA and IDE at the same time? got plenty of spare sata disk space to use. cheers for replying yung_jah Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/141265-installing-leopard-some-helpadvice/#findComment-1005353 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nintenno Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 the jumpers are on the back of the CD-ROM and the hard drive try this http://www.ehow.com/how_6031_change-master...esignation.html honestly, your best bet might be to buy a new motherboard not every motherboard/chipset is supported try the gigabyte p35 series great motherboards with tons of support here Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/141265-installing-leopard-some-helpadvice/#findComment-1005454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
