HELP: Can't Install on ASUS P6T

[vlad1966]

I'm trying to install 10.6.3 to my new Asus based P6T Hack, but every time I get to Disk Utility to format my drives, GUID, It just spins the colored pinwheel at "Unmounting drive".

 

I've got my BIOS (latest 1303) settings set according to this thread:

I've got my optical drive connected to SATA port 1 and all 4 drives to each successive port. SMART is enable.

 

Very frustrating.

12GB RAM

i7-930 CPU

 

Using tonymac's [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Supported as my boot CD.

Hi

 

I have a P6t SE and even if this sound crazy, the only way to avoid that problem is

 

ONLY HAVE CONNECTED 1 SATA hdd IN THE SATA 1 CONNECTOR.

 

Disconnect everything else,except the DVD and try again.

 

Once you get all working,shut down and plug everything else.

 

Cheers

When you say the DVD, it should be a dvd drive sata or ide drive ?

Thank you.

 

I have the same problem, when i connect the HD on 1Sata, my DVD is on sata 2. That block directly when i have the apple loading, it's like my DVD doesn't work.

 

When is HD on sata2 and DVD sata1 , it block on unmounting...
