tonicuk Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Hi When installing it gets to the screen and asks me to select where i want it installed and it does not show any. In disk utility it only shows my CD Drive which has the Hazard disk in it. Previously I had windows 7 and it has NOT been formatted. Am I right in believing that its because it is NTFS and needs to be formatted to GUID? if so how do I do so? Thanks a bunch in advance! EDIT: All that I have done is download the hackintosh ISO, burn it onto a disk and put it in my drive. Am I doing anything wrong? Do I need to do anything before that? system stats: 9500 GT realtek ac 97 audio amd athlon 64 processor 3500+ sony dvd rw dw-q28A ATA Device acpi x86-based pc Belarc Pic: Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/254734-hello-installing-hackintosh-1066-does-not-show-any-partition/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unrealized^ Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I think you're missing a kext for your chipset. Try using nForceATA Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/254734-hello-installing-hackintosh-1066-does-not-show-any-partition/#findComment-1670927 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I run and install them on my windows system or? Thanks this has been driving me insane Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/254734-hello-installing-hackintosh-1066-does-not-show-any-partition/#findComment-1670948 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unrealized^ Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 You need to put the kexts to either the preboot image, or the installation media. I personally created a chameleon usb stick with a Preboot.dmg (Which contains the kernel and kernel extensions). I suggest searching your motherboard/chipset on this forum and getting a installation dvd, which supports your hardware. Another issue could be that your sata devices are not in AHCI mode. You can set it in BIOS. Also, Kexts = Kernel Extensions. Like drivers, On Mac OS X.
