kabello Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I have a HP Pavilion DV 9010US (AMD Turion 64 X2, Nforce4 chipset and a geforce 6150). I'm using JaS 10.4.8 AMD PPF1+PPF2 version and my sata hard disk isn't recognize by OS. I tried with Acronis to set partition type as 0xAF (ShagOS Swap) and FAT32 but it didn't work, my sata hd still isn't recognize by OS. Any ideas?

cbmkgd Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 nforce4 and sata don't mix well on osx, unless you use the appropriate driver. search in the hardware/drivers section, you'll see it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitr- Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 It's because there are no OSX installations-cd:s that actually include the Nforce4 SATA-kext in the kextcache on the cd. What this means is that you will only get Nforce4 SATA-support after installation, in other words you have to install to a PATA-drive first and either choose to install the Nforce4 SATA-driver (if you have patched your installation-medium to include this) or install the Nforce4-kext afterwards and then clone your entire installation over to the SATA-drive. Can't get any easier say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nateleav76 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Not true! I have a 3 sata hard drives with an nforce4 motherboard working 100%. Downloaded the TubGirl OSX 10.4.8 disk. Then patched the nforce 4 sata drivers. Works like a charm! Do a search for nforce4.. you'll find the solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle67 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I have an installation of that relese on SATA HD. For the begining: Disable SMART from Bios and if you pass crash reporter ignore possible errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khid Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Nice. So the only thing that's not working on 650i SLi is the nforce Ethernet right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
