What do you mean by chipset for drive? I have EP45-DS3R... Other disk are recognized, just not this one! I don't think i have any driver problem... By the way, i use a sata PCI bracket & if i plug a disk there, same, Leopard see it, Snow Leopard don't (but THIS is understandle, not like the other thing)...

You should stop this meaningless bumping and answer the question audit13 asked. Otherwise nobody can help you.

 

Which make and model hard disk controllers are on your motherboard and which one is the SATA bracket plugged into?

 

You can look this up in your motherboard manual or in the specs sheet for it at the Gigabyte website.

Is ahci set in your motherboard bios?

 

 

Have you tried connecting the disk to all of the motherboard's sata ports?

 

 

 

What do you mean by "pci bracket"?1

Sorry i didn't find the name of the controller. But since it works in Leopard, maybe it's just incompatible and maybe some did/will do a patch later..? For the disk INSIDE the computer that's not recognized on Snow, i have no idea! Cause it's just plugged on sata port (not the bracket) like all others disks, so i shouldn't just be recognized... Or i have something to do for that? I don't think so...

:P

 

Did it ever occur to you that if you had answered what the first poster in your thread asked you and what I asked you in post #8 maybe you'd be past this already?!

Sorry i didn't find the name of the controller.

Then try harder! Look in your motherboard manual or, god forbid, use Google. That's what the rest of us do.

 

On some motherboards the off-chip PATA controller has SATA ports as well. They are usually easy to distinguish as they will be a different color than the SATA ports of the Southbridge controller.

For example, on my motherboard the ICH10R SATA ports are red, and the Silicon Image (unsupported in OSX) SATA ports are orange.

 

Open your case and make sure your HDD is not plugged into one of the secondary drive controller's SATA ports.

 

If in doubt, refer to your motherboard manual, there should be a drawing or photo clearly demonstrating which ports belong to which controller.

Hey, i use ALL the SATA ports, i have 4 disk inside + DVD + bracket ; If i plug off the disk i'm having trouble with and plug on same port another one, it will be recognized, so don't you think it's the disk that's {censored} around? It's the {censored} Seagate 7200.11 ;)

Okay so it's not the ports obviously. Try formatting the HD on another computer and plug it in again. Open Disk Utility and see if it appears.

 

Run the Seagate diagnostics on it (Seatools I think?) There's a bootable image you can download and burn to CD-RW at the Seagate website.

Try booting that on your hackintosh and see if it can detect and run tests on the drive.

Format? I can't, it's not like it's empty! As i said, it's the {censored}ed 7200.11. Anyway, if it was the disk that causes the problem, it shouldn't work on Leopard neither, maybe even in Windows, so it's too strange... I'll retry port test but i've no idea what else can it be.

You can still run the Seagate diagnostics on it.

I heard they released firmware updates for the 7200.11 drives with defects but I don't know anything about updating hard drive firmware. Go have a look at the Seagate website and see what you can dig up.

 

I would back up the data and format it..if you keep using it as it is, it's only gonna get worse.
