phred_phred Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I am trying to install the 10.6 onto a usb drive, then install it onto either a sata or IDE drive (I have one of each, IDE would be preferable). I used the myHack 1.0 RC4.1 R55 to do the work for me as i am a bit of a mac noob. I am running an amd phenom 2 x4, so i selected the chocolate kernel, and i selected the IDE fix. When i go to install it, the installer only detects usb devices. It sees the usb drive, and my flash drive if i plug it in, but no sata or IDE drives. I have changed jumper configurations and have had no luck. I have no idea what to do next. -Processor: Phenom 2 x4 940 -Mobo: gigabyte ga-ma790x-ud4p -Hard Drives: 1x IDE 200GB (Drive i want to install mac on), 1x Sata 500GB (If i do have to install on this, i will put it on a partition) 120GB USB external hard drive (Disk with the installer files on it), and a 4GB flash drive (If it can help my situation) Any help is greatly appreciated.

apple apple Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 So do you have SL installed on 1 partition or drive, and trying to install the MyHack EFI part on a separate partition, drive, or usb?

phred_phred Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 I dont have snow leopard installed yet. I am trying to get snow leopard installed on the IDE drive. I am doing all of the work on a copy of kalyway 10.5.2. I restored the disk image onto the external usb hard drive, and ran myhack on it. when i boot from the external hard drive, it gets to the installer, but only detects usb devices.

apple apple Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I'm sorry I may not be that much help here, but... I suppose you could try restoring the SL image to a flash drive, run myhack on it, then install it on your external usb drive.
