lhsonic Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Disk Utility -> Select the drive you want to make the OS X drive then go to "Erase" and erase the drive with the Mac Journaling format. Done Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41851-osx86-doesnt-recognise-hdd/#findComment-299496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireing Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Hey, my motherboard has nforce 3 and I was able to see partitions changing in BIOS my RAID controller to Disabled. So, I start installation and go to Disk Utilities> Erase using Mac Extended (journaled) format... But, when it starts installing it says "Target Volume" and I w8 for like 5 minutes and nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated.
