Rammjet Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 If your SATA controller on your motherboard is made by Intel or VIA, then the answer is yes. If not, go for the IDE drive.

I use Intel's SATA controller, but MAC detect my HDD ONLY when I disable the Raid function! I've searched for along time but still now I dont know how to fix it ?

mykey Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'm using a VIA Chipset on my MSI 6702 Mainboard and the SATA does not work. During the installation the drive is not shown. Afterwards he showed my NTFS drives from my Windows harddisk, but after a reboot they have disappeared and I can't find them. Can sombody help me? PS: I installed OSx86 on a seperate IDE drive and used the JAS patched DVD 10.4.6 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/30060-sata/#findComment-211187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
