Question for all you Asus P5W DH Deluxe Owners

[natedogg]

Ok here is the thing. I have an Asus p5w dh deluxe board and I have a few questions about installing OS X.

 

First off, does the software raid work on the Jas 10.4.7 version? Because for the life of me I can't figure out how to make OS X raid my two 320GB drives. It installs on either one, but I can't get it to raid them. It says to drag the disks, but I can't drag them, attempting to just highlights all the disks. If it can't no big deal but help would be great!

 

Second(if the above isn't possible), is there a way to use the intel raid for my two raptors (windows) and use the Asus EZ raid for my two 320GB's (OS X disks)? Because when I set it up that way, unless I'm missing something, the EZ raid shows up in the intel raid bios which makes it unusable by OS X since the "driverless raid" is now being controlled by the intel raid which requires a driver. I might be setting it up wrong, if so please correct me, but I have the two 320GB drives going to the orange EZ Raid connectors at the bottom of the board, and I have the two raptors going to the Sata 1 and 2 ports, the RED and Black ports near the bottom of the board.

 

Ok moving on, so as a temp soloution I installed OS X on just one of my 320GB drives the thing is, I can't get it to boot without having the Install DVD in the drive. Anyone else had this problem? It's very strange. If I take the DVD out and boot I get a b0 error.

 

Alright well that should do it, any help you guys could provide would be great!

 

Thanks again guys

No RAID support in OSX for Hackintosh.

 

b0 error means you need to set your OSX partition active. You can use any Windows/Linux disk/partition utility or use Fdisk built into OSX: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=22844
