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. :-(

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.

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?
