SteveStar Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I searched the forums but there isn't a real answer to this question: In the installation of JaS 10.4.6 you have to select a partition where you wan't to install OSX but in my case there are NO PARTITIONS LISTED. Also in the 'box' in the left-side of the window there only are my dvd drive and the boot-dvd in it, but I can't select a partition or harddrive. Please help me out with this BIG problem. My system specs are: - AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice - Asus A8N-E - Asus Extreme AX700 PRO - Kingston ValueRram PC3200 (2x512 MB) - Maxtor Diamond Max Plus 9 80 GB - BenQ DW1620 Pro DVD/CD +- Rewriter - Ozaki VA303 2.1 Soundsystem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSpam Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 The A8N-E has the nForce4 chipset, right? Well, are you trying to install to a SATA drive? If so, nF4 SATA does not work. You must install to a PATA drive. If the aforementioned is not the case (you are installing to a PATA drive), then have you used Disk Utility to partition/format the drive?

mspr Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Hi, I have a Gigabyte K8NXP9 with nForce4 chipset and I use SATA HD without problems with 10.4.8 You can try with this version... I suppose that it works with your motherboard too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveStar Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 How can I convert SATA to PATA; with a programm or another cable or something? If it is a cable then: -Is my harddrive slower then? -Can I buy that cable in a usually computer store? -Does an IDE-cable instead of a SATA also works? Thanks very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
