consolation Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Have you set it to master and plugged it into master socket on the ide cable? Remove any slave devices and try, I find os X bit flakey with non-pioneer drives on CS or Slave.

Mils Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 i did the firmware upgrade right before i installed OSX, i guess i need to check the jumpers, Master on the cable is the last port right.

consolation Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 i did the firmware upgrade right before i installed OSX, i guess i need to check the jumpers, Master on the cable is the last port right. It's the black one, (blue mobo, grey slave, black master; i think) make sure it's an ATA100+ cable for 16X DVDs. Some won't work with ATA66 or older.
