Thanks mhh weird that it has the permission fuxored , fix the permissions on the kext sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleVIAATA.kext sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleVIAATA.kext reboot with -f to disable it just delete that kext , i know that it works well on nforce3 but it's very buggy on nforce4 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15563-1046-nforce-sata/#findComment-100175 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaS Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I find it funny how everyone complians about how os x cant see there nForce sata .. then when its made to work,they start saying they don't want os x to use it.

kaleph Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Well, since its very buggy on nforce4, is it better to disable the kext or there's no risk of it damaging any of the partitions?

Careless Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 I find it funny how everyone complians about how os x cant see there nForce sata .. then when its made to work,they start saying they don't want os x to use it. thats because no one mentioned any support/technical specifications on it. also, because files that were on my drive in Windows were not there in OSX. or were 0 byted i dont want that to happen to my Windows installation, as the reason why i have that 250gb sata drive is to backup what was on my 120gb x 2 Raid stripe, so that i can reinstall windows, which i just finished completing. i cant afford to do that again. again, thanks for the effort, but i prefer to swap files between both OS's using the External USB interface an FAT32 partitioning, so that i know my windows installation isnt being affected. looks promising though Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15563-1046-nforce-sata/#findComment-100278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsnuff1 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Whoever included that VIAATA kext in 10.4.6 shouldnt have. Some other people and I have done extensive testing on it, and even though the driver recongizes SATA drives it is VERY buggy and there is a 100% chance you will corrupt whatever drive that this driver writes too. Check the nforce SATA posts in the hardware forum for more info.

drcreek Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Can you get liek USB hard drive caddies that support sata? if yours like mine is just a storange drive (500gb and it's 90% full ) wouldn't this be a good get round as OSX would only need the USB interface drivers? EDIT: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Plug-Play-USB-2-0-To...1QQcmdZViewItem or this as a possible get round. keep the hdd in your PC but have the usb cable coming out of the back though a spare expation slot and into the USB or possibly rig it to the board if you want. might slow the drive down a bit. i dunno? but it would be a safer way to do it in OS X for NForce4 users?

JopieK Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 My Samsung (never buy one!!!) HDD just died and I now only have two fine Seagate drives in the system that are SATA. I cannot see them in the 10.4.6 installer though. Anyone a solution for that? (I use 10.4.6 JaS patched DVD on a Asus A8N-SLI nForce4 board) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15563-1046-nforce-sata/#findComment-106370 Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcusmaia Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I'm having the same issue: my sata HD got detected, but when i tried copying some stuff, OSX freezed, and when i rebooted, it showed that same error message. Same problem on 10.4.6 I see my SATA HDD, it's working fine. After minutes the OSX freeze. I use one one HD PATA (60GB) for the instalation of OSX and the SATA disk (200GB) I use for video capture, with Final CUT 5.1. I work for 20 minutes with a video edition, the max time of work with SATA disk. With capture on IDE PATA disk, without a SATA disk atached, or SATA actived i have no problems. Anyone can help-me? thx Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15563-1046-nforce-sata/#findComment-118512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
