Mholtz2323 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hi I finally got the disc to boot and I am into the installation screen. I went to disk utility, but it doesn't recognize my hard drive, nor my dvd-rw and cd drive. I am using a dell xps 410. Using disc 10.6.0. Intel core 2 duo e6300 @1.86ghz Chipset: P965/G965 Southbridge: 82801HH (ICH8DH) DDR2 1024 Mb Slot 1 and 3 each contain 512 mb of ram (Samsung) Nvidia Geforce 7300LE Hard drive: WDC WD2500JS-75NCB3 250gb thanks Mike Edit: In the DELL XPS 410 (and other dell computers) there isn't a AHCI setting in the BIOS. I learned that RAID ON enables AHCI. When I go to SATA Operation, it gives me 2 options RAID Autodetect/ATA or RAID on. Regardless of the one I choose, still doesn't recognize my hard drive or even my dvd drive. SATA-0 is set to on (thats my hard drive) SATA-1 is set to on (thats my dvd rom drive) SATA-2 is set to on (thats my cd rom drive) SATA-3-5 are off and they dont list anything.
