ashman1970 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I have rev 1.1 of this board, just bought it, BIOS is F8, not matter what I do, trying to install Leo4all 10.5.6 when it boots into the gui and get to the point where it asks me where I want to install OS X it does not see the hard drive, yet the drive is there in the POST and the BIOS? WTF? I have the SATA HD on SATA 0 and the SATA DVDRW on SATA 1. Any ideas? I don't have a retail copy of OS X or I would try it. In the BIOS I have the on chip primary PCI IDE disalbed, on chip SATA MODE is set to ENHANCED.

macusers Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Wonder if you have formated your HD with Disk Utility ?. if you haven't done so, you need to do that first before the OS can see your Drive. You should find this Option under Utility menu when you boot into the OS install disk. I have one of this board and it works just fine, love it. Good luck.

You know it's weird, it wouldn't recognize the drive at all. I finally had to put in another sata drive I had lying around and it recognized that one and I was able to install OS X, and then once the OS was up I was able to see the other drive and format it. Thanks for you're reply. AM Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/179199-gigabyte-g31m-e2sl/#findComment-1222508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
