Alex Oughton Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Sounds like your hard disk controller may not be supported. Can you give us more information on your system specs?

Rammjet Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 You installed OSX to a SATA drive connected to the nForce4 SATA controller. OSX doesn't support this controller chip. Install a PATA/ATA/IDE hard drive and install OSX on it. A 20 GB hard drive can be found for next to nothing.
