BeeMeR Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I have read hundreds of post for the last 3 weeks and i have done almost everything sugested in those posts and I'm giving up. I have no problems with the desktop. This is my problem: My laptop harddrive is not showing up in the list of hard drive available, I have formatted the drive HFS, it is the active partition and nothing happen, but if I put the same drive in an external USB drive JAS DVD can see it and format and everything. What am I doing wrong, any sugestions. BeeMeR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terran Ender Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 You screwed untill some one builds some more sata drivers. I have the same problem. no compatible drives for my sata. Best bet is to try getting a IDE drive ether slaving or mastering it to a CD/DVD drive. I got around this by using a USB drive. no the best way but it worked.

netnod Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) I have the same lappy and the exact same problem .. if you buy an external HD you will not have any problems. Let suppose that you already installed OSX on you new usb-HD After the install you must install the driver for the network (RTL1000.kext) and the graphics in order to have QE/CI and proper resolution. (check the provided link). only the mini-USB wireless is a problem (it is not recognized as a AirportCard but a usb device... ) if someone can help with this i will be greatfull (or just provide me with some specs i.e. chipset etc.).
