YaDunKno Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Hey everyone, first post here. I'm trying to install Mac OS X86 10.4.6 jar ver, i got my partition set as primary, 10 gigz, but when i go to boot from the disc it just stays at the grey apple screen, so i went into diagnostic mode. Once I was in diagnostic mode i got the following error AppleNVIDIAnForceATA: NVIDIA CK85 IDE (CMD 0x170, CTR 0x374, IRQ 13, BM 10Xe008 Still waiting for root device... and that continues -Is this because it doesn't recognize Sata/2 drives? Or another problem? My system - DualCore AMD Athlon 64 X2, 2300 MHz (10 x 230) Instruction Set x86, x86-64, MMX, 3DNow!, SSE, SSE2, SSE3 MSI K8N Neo4 Series (MS-7125) 1 GB OCZ in DUAL channel Chip set - South Bridge nVIDIA nForce4 (CK8-04 Maxtor 6L250S0 250 gig Thanks!

Rammjet Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Try going to the Utilities menu and selecting Disk Utility. You need to format your partition. Select the partition on the left. On the right, be sure it is set to MacOS Extended Journaled, then click on Erase.

YaDunKno Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 I got another question now. Everything installed fine in VMware, now do I get it to run natively. Any links to a guide? I got Acronis, and the OS Selector. It won't find my Mac OS though. Tried setting it as active primary, still nothing. Do I need to have the drive as a certain format? From windows it still says NTFS, dont know if thats the problem though.
