Rammjet Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Is your partition on a SATA drive? If so, OSX cannot read all SATA drives because it only has a couple of drivers for them. If it is a PATA drive, be sure it is on the same ATA cable as the DVD drive and make the hard drive master and the DVD drive slave using jumpers, not cable select.

Maraudir Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I seem to have the same issue. I have a via SATA onboard card from a PT880Neo. I thought this was supported but I guess it isn't. It is a VT8237 chipset. Any ideas for installation? I have the 10.4.7 JaS DVD. Thanks.

bullit Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 If you have Windows, try DISPART, that's what they tell me. Make a partition and set it to active. If not, then try UBCD. Google is your friend on these things Have fun p/s I'm still stuck at booting OSX. Waiting for a friend to burn me a copy of JAS 10.4.6. and give it another go. If it doesn't work, then I guess we have to wait for Apple to release a proper OSx86 bootable DVD for the rest of us.
