frankyyyy Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I'm using a USB stick & chameleon to boot & install. but it can't find any SATA HD. So I tried one external USB, and installer found it and installed successfully. And I couldn't find any SATA HD in Lion either. Anyone knows why? Or anyone has the same situation?

aufa333 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 make sure the storage config in bios is AHCI not SATA also maybe if u included IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext in E/E on ur usb it may fix ur prob.

I did include IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext in E/E but it didn't change anything. And Leopard, Snow Leopard both are working on my computer.
