Your 610i chipset is AHCI-compliant, so suggest you see if Krishna21's guide works for you.......he may also be able to help you install Leopard if you wish.........

P2000Camaro Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 You need to make it Fat32, Primary, and active. Then when you boot into the mac installation CD you go to Disk Utilities and change it to.. I think its either MacOS (Journaled) or HFS+ (Journaled). It's been a while since I've been to the installation.. but after that, it'll work.

muchlife Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 you cant see the hard drive to choose to install to, UNTIL you go to DISK UTILITIES in the top menu of the installer, once in DISK UTILITY, you have to reformat that drive, FROM fat32, to HFS+ journaled you will never see a hard drive that is fat32, as selectable in the installer, to choose to install to. formatting to fat32 just helps disk utility see the drive easier, so it can then be formated to HFS+ journaled EDIT: i have successfully installed on ASUS board with GeForce 7050 - chipset and nForce 610i - southbridge using iPC 10.5.6 and choosing nforce in chipset driver selection and Voodoo kernel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to use Kalyway 5.10.2 for Intel/AMD. It did see my HDD for destination on where to install, i selected my 15GB Fat 32 Partition. And clicked customize and chose the drivers. But at the installation, it quickly gives me an error. Says it cannot be installed on volumes/local disk something like that.. Please help. Can you recommend the drivers i must install.
