c_58 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 There is no bios option for your motherboard to put sata mode to ahci, so your hard drive and optical drive cannot be recognized. You may try to find a custom bios to unlock those options, or put in an ide optical drive. I have the same system and have not tried to install osx on it, but I have had success with several other systems, so I will have a go at it. I will let you know if it works.
