frankhuzzah Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I've been digging through the information for this motherboard and am planning on using it in my new OSx86 build. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a IDE to SATA adapter for my DVD-RW. I've seen a few different ones suggested, but I'd hate do order the wrong one. Or if there is a better one than is listed in the threads, obviously, I'd like to know that as well. Thanks a ton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankhuzzah Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 Anyone? Maybe a SATA DVD drive would be a better investment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian Purvis Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I am using a Intel DP965LT board and actually had to connect my internal IDE DVD Burner to my USB Hard Drive enclosure kit. I got sick of the IDE cable comming out of the front of my case to the Hard Drive Enclosure sitting on top of my tower, and then using a USB cable to connect the DVD Burner. Also, with this setup, my Hackintosh wouldn't play DVD movies from my DVD Burner. DVD Player would whine about an invalid DVD Drive. I did a little looking around and found an IDE to SATA Adapter at CompUSA (SKU 33990). They were 30 bucks each and bought two. I came home last night and hooked one up to the DVD Burner and moved it to the SATA #1 port. I turned the Hackintosh back and on there was the DVD Burner in the System Profile, and on top of it, DVD Player plays my movies now! The only problem I have is that my Hackintosh only sees two of the four SATA devices I have in my PC. It won't see the devices on SATA #2 or SATA #3 ports. Hopefully I find the answer to that this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigxcpu Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 DP965LT PATA works directly in OS X with a little patch. Search the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
