phoenix3200 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 If you're running those two disks as SATA on NTFS, you might have the same problem I had. You can verify my theories by typing in the following: diskutil list If it comes up listing those unmounted hard drives as something other than what they're supposed to be, it could work.

phoenix3200 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Sorry...I just skimmed what you wrote. My procedure might make them mount properly, but to not have them automount at all, you'd probably have to remove the kext driver currently associated with those drives (you'd still have to do diskutil list to see what OS X thinks they are) in order to get it to not mount at all. IMO, it will be more of a pain to unmount those disks (to avoid the Initialize... screen) than to try to get them to mount.

phoenix3200 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Okay, try going into /System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext/Contents, editing Info.plist, doing a search for Windows_LDM, delete Windows_LDM, and replace it with a space. If that doesn't work, it's impossible to do what you ask. The reason why you are having issues with your hard drives is that they are set up as dynamic disks inside of Windows XP instead of basic disks. I don't know of an easy way to convert them to basic, either.

FrDakota Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 how can i unmount some harddisk ???i have under windows XP a SOFTRAID with 2 SATA drives. But MACOS can not read it. Every Systemstart it post "unknow DVD". How can i disable this drives for mac OS ??? See Picture The only thing that I see in your setup, is that your problematic disks are in SATA. The others are in PATA. (I think the Samsung too). A methode to exclude these disks would be to edit the Plist of the Kext that recognise your SATA and to delete/modify the device ID of your motherboard. But you'll have to know which it is. Give us some details about your hardware, motherboard's brand and type.

See Picture hi! i've got the same problem: 2 sata drives with softraid and windows xp! 1. the "unknown dvd" post is very annoying! 2. nearly every time i start windows after working in mac os, the xp systemstart takes very long time and the system seems to have problems accessing the "sata XP"-drives!! what can i do to make the sata drives invisible for mac os? my hardware: AMD 64bit 3000 Abit AV8-3rd Eye 2 Samsung SP2504C SATA drives (Windows XP / Softraid) 1 Samsung SP1614N ATA drive (Mac OS) @engine_lfc: anhand deiner screenshots gehe ich mal davon aus, dass du deutsch sprichst ;o) hast du mittlerweile eine lösung gefunden? greetz.

Hi, I describe here what you should try to disable SATA on OS X so that the SATA drives wouldn't appear at boot. First you should see under XP which Vendor ID and Device ID it has. Vendor ID should be 1106 and Device ID could be 3149 or 3249 or 3164. I suppose it's Vendor ID 3149 since I find it in the AppleVIAATA.kext. So launch Terminal and type. sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/AppleVIAATA.kext/Contents/Info.plist Then go down to the section : <key>VIA SATA Controller</key> Below at the section : <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> Edit the 0x31491106 and change it to (for example) 0x31491107. Then save the file, exit Terminal, delete Kextcache and reboot. SATA should now be disabled.
