intelinside Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Hey there, I managed to install OS X and everything works perfectly. I have 2 hard drives. A 40 GB IDE Western Digital (where OS X is installed) and a 250 GB Maxtor SATA (where I have Windows XP installed). Now, my sata drive doesn't show up and I have a lot of stuff on there that I could use. It also doesn't show up in Disk Utility. Someone mentioned to change to a legacy setting in the BIOS, but I don't see a setting like that. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
