xtreme571 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Did u pick the "Sata Patch" during installation? There is still lot of trouble booting from SATA hdds. I have the same problem with my P5ND2-SLI with Intel D 830 and nVidia SATA. If you boot from the install DVD. Dont press anything and it will boot from the hard drive (Hopefully). Thats the only way i got mine to boot, but it still gets stuck at the apple screen with gear and "NO" sign on the apple. Did u pick the "Sata Patch" during installation?

aberracus Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 No its not a patch, in your bios change the way your SATA is working, theres something like IDE emulation, thats it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27164-boot-problem-from-hddon-sata-intel-d945gntl-mobo/#findComment-190316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedzed Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 You are not alone. I built an osx86 box for a buddy based on the Intel D945GNTLR mobo and we have the same issue. Can't boot directly to SATA drive which had osx86 install. Only if there was a boot DVD in the DVD drive. Weird thing was that later I installed the OSX86 install on IDE and Win XP on the SATA and I set boot order for IDE first and SATA second and the bootup would rather boot to WinXP rather than osx86.

boo50 Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 i have solve my problem. what am i do: first i try to install fresh jas 10.4.7, i have no weighty motive, but i don't like this install dvd. smthng wrong with it, install going slow. after that i unplag my IDE drive, delete partitions on my sata drive with Special Fdisk (hiren's boot cd). and mark label "AF". also i carefully set all bios settings for the drives. (boot, sata, ide mode, etc.) i take old Jas 10.4.6 DVD. boot from it, create 2 partitions with disk utility. (1-system, 2-data) - first time i create partitions with Special Fdisk install went fine(over 15 min at all), first boot, repair permissions, eject DVD, reboot and VIOLA - boot fine from Sata drive. no problems, twice faster in comparison with my old IDE drive. after that i plug in back my Ide drive, boot again and transfer all settings from old install. i suppose what problems can be with 1) bios settings (i'll try go get a camera and post photos of my settings for Intel D945GNTL) 2) install DVD. 3) don't forget to repair permissions after first boot. good luck......
