NickMiller Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Hey Guys! I have a little problem w/ installing Hazard 10.6.2 Client/Server on my computer... I have gotten everything else working but my SATA/IDE controller. My iAtkos v7 DVD wouldn't recognize any hard drives or controllers, but Hazard recognized just 1 HDD (out of 2) and no DVD drive. I have been booting off an 8GB flash drive (horribly slow) for testing of Graphics/Internet/Audio, but I'm ready for an actual install on an HD. If possible, I would like to install Snow Leopard on an IDE hdd (30GB) because that is what I have lying around (My Windows HDDs are full). Any help is appreciated! Thanks in Advance, Nick Specs: CPU: AMD Phenom II x3 2.8Ghz Mobo: Gigabyte GA-MA78LM-S2 Graphics: ATI Radeon 4650 (Not sure if relevant) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/228332-drives-not-showing-up-in-snow-leopard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfer96822 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Make sure the bios sees all the drives. You may need to try different bios settings # enhanced, combined, non-combined, auto, etc. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/228332-drives-not-showing-up-in-snow-leopard/#findComment-1616686 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried switching sata cables, bought a sata dvd drive, even corrupted 2 brand new hard drives (under warranty) Seemed bios was corrupting. Sometimes would see all drives, sometimes not, sometimes wait a long time for bios screen to pass. I tried every imaginable bios config. SOLUTION: bought a new power supply and all these problems are resolved. I got a good deal on a 650 watt power supply but I suspect many 400-500 watt units would be fine also.
