coollettuce Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) Hello. I've always been interested in OS X, but I lacked the money to buy a Mac. So I decided to try and put it onto my PC. I downloaded the JaS OS X Install DVD 10.4.6. I burned it to a dvd and it booted up fine. I went thru the install but it couldn't recognize any of my partitions. I have 2, my XP one thats NTFS and a free one. I tried it a second time with both at NTFS and it didn't work either. I think it might be a driver issue because I have my HDD connected via SATA. MY PC: AMD 4600+ X2 Windsor (AM2) GIGABYTE GA-M59SLI-S5 nForce 590 CORSAIR 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 PC-6400 800MHZ SEAGATE 320GB HDD 7200.10 XFX NVIDIA 7900GS I hope you guys know how to fix this. Thanks so much! PS - I've tried using disk utility and it doesn't show up in there either. :-( Edited February 4, 2007 by coollettuce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coollettuce Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) So just an IDE HDD? Are you positive it would work? Would this work http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16822144122 ? Edited February 4, 2007 by coollettuce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bikedude880 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Yes. It will work. If you look in my sig, you will see a link to the nForce4 project. This is where all the development is being done on the nForce chipsets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coollettuce Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) Yea but thats nforce4. Isn't the nforce 590, a nforce 5 chipset? Ok well I guess its best to buy another HDD. I'm going to do RAID 0 for XP and theres no way that would work for OS X. What's the best "distro" to use on my setup?
