J.B Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 for a start it would be far easier to use the SATA for OSX because IDE isn't well supported in OSX to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.B Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 then try that, make sure that when you are installing to have all unneeded IDE devices unplugged and the SATA drive to be plugged in at port 0/1 (depending) on your MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geiman Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 for a start it would be far easier to use the SATA for OSX because IDE isn't well supported in OSX to say the least Don't know that I'd say that... It all depends on what hardware you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a SATA DVDRW I assume? Connect your IDE HDD as Master to your MOBO IDE channel, and for installing Snow Leopard see here.......and here........for Leopard, use a AMD compatible distro like LawlessPPC 10.5.4 or XxX_x86_10.5.6_Install_Disc_Universal_Final.v2 or iPC 10.5.6........
