donh Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 SOMEONE? I don't have your answer directly. You will need to search and read other posts. First in windows find your hardware id of the controler. Then read this it is to enable uli chip set through the VIA kexts. You should be able to put your id in place of the ones in this thread. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...c=24047&hl= Search is your freind. You will learn much more if you try it. BLA BLA BLA "(also in my BIOS i have the SATA disk (300GB) operating as IDE mode and not RAID if i do it RAID not either the XP recognize it (i was verry lazy to install the Promise controller so i left it IDE)" It might need to be SATA to see it, don't know.
