bwhsh8r Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I have the jas 10.4.6 dvd and when I launch the disk utility all it finds is my dvd drive with the install disk in it, or if i have a disk in the other cd drive it finds that too. Do I have to preformat the hdd in hfs+? I have been trying to do this but have yet to sucessfully complete this ans i can not find a bootable cd image that will let me create one. If anyone could help with that as well it would be appreciated. thank you for your time Bwhsh8r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivinWest Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Are you using SATA? If so, which chipset does your motherboard have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
