MilaNL-HM Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Hello! I just tried to install OS X86 on my PC! But when i come to the screen where i can select my hard disk, and i open the Disk Utilities, i only see my DVD drive, and not the hard disk. I am using an Asus A8V Deluxe motherboard, and the wiki says, that won't be a problem. The partition where Os X needs to come is FAT32 (logical). Also primary won't work. And uuh.. Please don't tell me any VMWare-solutions, cause i really want it NATIVE! Ubuntu install can see my HDD, and Windows can only see it if i insert a floppy disk. Can someone help me? I already searched the wiki and the IRC channel. edit: More information: Asus A8V Deluxe AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice (so with SSE3) Radeon 9800 Pro WD 250GB SATA300 16MB (set the jumper to sata150) 2*512MB memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free30 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Vmware disk can to copied to partitions, so don't wory you could use the Vmware method and get native. How big are the partition on the drive? And want type are they. And by the was you can't install OS to a logical drive. It must be primary and I think id=af or type=0afh Free30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilaNL-HM Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 But... The whole hard disk isn't recognised! And as i said, i also tried primary partition to install it on. And i even said that the partition type was FAT32. It is 30GB big. And.. Is that copying from VMWare to Partition easy, or do i need to burn linux live cd's? /edit: oh and i'm using the Hotiso copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free30 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 quickverson keybaords bracking, search forum Partition effect os x seeing drive, make sure your desired partition is id=af. Vmware No linuk Cd other than it's good to be able to set windows back to active if this go wrong and your mchine urns off. So set the partition active. and type=id, the same size as your image or expain the image, fix disk latter and use the 'dd'program like this to copy to parttion dd if=FreeBSD-flat.vmdk of=\\?\device\harddisk0\partition2 bs=32256 skip=1 --progress where FreeBSD-flat.vmdk is the image and harddisk0\partition2 is the partition you want Test in Vmware free30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilaNL-HM Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 I'm sorry but that is really too difficult for me. It would be esier if the drives were just recognised. Is anybody else here using the Asus A8V Deluxe, and did completed the installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-prompt Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I think the only way to install with SATA HDs without installing via vmware or using a patched DVD (which I have no idea how to do) is to buy a PCI SATA controller that's supported natively by OS X. There's a thread about this somewhere in the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJaymez Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 c-prompt is correct, but we haven't quite got it sorted out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Manu Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I have a ASUS A8V Deluxe with 2 Samsung HD: 170MB SATA1 (1.5Gb/s) 250MB SATA2 (3Gb/s, with jumper setting to 1.5 mode) OSX 10.4.3 works perfectly on SATA1, but crashes on SATA2. My GeForce FX5200 is not work, but I don't know if I need a driver for GeForce (I used to try many, but don't works) or for AGP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
