Rammjet Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 nForce4 SATA won't work. You will need a PATA drive for OSX.

consolation Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 (edited) if you have sata->ide converter, you can hook your sata up as pata slave on the channel that has your optical drive on it.
