DJ Nativus Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I am unable to (hdd won't unmount when trying to format in Mac OS X Extended for OS X install.. the bars just move forever as it tries to unmount) and I have searched through these forums and haven't found any help. Since I am new, I am unable to make a new topic but this is using myHack 1.0 and a retail DVD of 10.6 on a GUID formatted USB hdd. Mobo: EVGA nForce 780i SLI Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 kexts added to installer drive: AppleNForceATA & IOTAFamily Details: I think the issue lies with the BIOS... I can't see where to change the SATA drives to be AHCI and as you can see from the screencap above, they're being shown as SCSI devices D: I even tried updating my BIOS to the latest Award version but still the same options. These are the options in my BIOS: I would like to note that the hard drive I'm trying to install Mac OS X on (the other hdd has Win 7) used to be a two partition Linux drive for Ubuntu. I tried formatting it to one partition in Windows 7 to NTFS then formatting it in Mac Disk Utility from the Hackintosh installer drive and still wouldn't unmount... I'd appreciate any help I can get Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/213331-installer-wont-unmount-sata-drive/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Nativus Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 So what makes my post worthy of a reply? What do I need to change to get someone to help me? Yes I have gone through that other nForce topic and I'm using that kext and have tried setting the BIOS settings to what it says but then the computer won't boot at all. I don't know what's going on and this is really frustrating. I thought this was a friendly, helpful community =( Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/213331-installer-wont-unmount-sata-drive/#findComment-1436396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
