lipps Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I have a extra Hdd (300 gig) that I am trying to install OSX on, everytime I go to try to install it I says "Still waiting for root" I have went as far as physically disconnecting the other Hdd (windows) where all i have connected it the 300 gig sata drive and the dvd drive (IDE) and still get the error message. Anyone have any ideas for me. Kevin Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/142109-still-waiting-for-root-on-installation-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either use an external DVD drive to boot or use iDeneb, it supports IDE drives.
