darkrain143 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I am new to this and I am having a rough time installing os x on my computer. I have a AMD Athlon 64 4200 x2 with 2 gigs of ram (800mhz) and a ECS K8M890M-M motherboard with built in VIA graphics and sound card. I pop in the JaS 10.4.8 AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2 and it just tells me to restart everytime. I have a 160 GB SATA hard drive as well as a 60gb PATA hard drive. Can any one help me? I would really much appreciated. I installed this on my dell xps m1210 and it worked fine.

Guest Ramm Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 SATA == problem. OSX does not work well, if it works at all, with SATA. This could be the root of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenwk Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 i'd agree with ramm. =) most probably sata, it's the same problem for windows at times too, needing sata driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkrain143 Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 So that means i have to unplug the 160 GB hard drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ramm Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Probably the PATA and SATA ones. Just put in a test 20 gb IDE one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
