macgirl Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Specs? If you have your Mac OS X in a SATA HD only works if your chipset is Intel or VIA. Also, some PATA HD have problems if other channel is pupulated or not, someone said it only boot if the DVD Drive is not connected.

ahirreddy Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 It is a standard 200g western digital ide harddrive. It is a WDC WD200JB-53DUA0 (IDE). I think it should work fine. I will try disconnecting my dvd drive. Thanks in advance, Ahir Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3609-pcatadriver/#findComment-22943 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I mean specs of your motherboard/chipset, brand of harddisk doesn't matter at all. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3609-pcatadriver/#findComment-23105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
