dragonninja Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Hi everyone Can anyone help me install OSx86 on a SATA drive...? I have just downloaded the JaS 10.4.8 image (Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2].iso) and burned to DVD. It loads up OK, but the disk utility will not recognise either of my hard drives (SATA) My PC is: ASRock (939NF4G-SATA2) Socket 939 nVidia GeForce 6100 Chipset AMD (Venice) Athlon 64Bit 3200+ Maxtor 6L080M0 DiamondMax 10 80GB 7200RPM SATA/150 8MB Cache Maxtor 6L250S0 DiamondMax 10 250GB 7200RPM SATA/150 8MB Cache 1GB RAM Club3D nVidia GeForce 6600 PCI-e graphics My question is this: Is ther any chance of insalling OSx on my current setup, or would I have to go out and buy a standard IDE hard drive to install it on? Also, can anyone spot any other potential hardware problems? I'm kinda new to this! Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaspers Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Please search... NForce is a prob with sata and osx86.. And its easy to find out that most people use SATA in their osx86 configs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonninja Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 So is it possible with mine or not? from what i could see previously most people had it installed on a PATA drive but im obviously wrong thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_muad_dib Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 search people, search... sata on nforce works only on nforce4 straight model, on others will corrupt your filesystem, and you must use ide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidlytle Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 The Patch is called Applenforceata.kext.zip But what the hell do you do with it??? I have searched for days trying to figure it out. I need to patch the ISO file and then burn so I can use my SATA HD and optical. How do you apply the AppleNForceATA patch?
