Oh man I'm sorry.

I finally found some time to try to connect IDE DVDRW to the MAC...

 

I got all the cables unplugged the old DVDRW from my old PC.. but when I tryied to connect the IDE cable to the Mobo...I couldn't

 

The wires are pinned that way that I cant connect it right away.

I need to unplug all my Mobo wires and right now its glued so I dont wanna ruin that.. sorry man... I really am...

 

By the way I installed win xp in AHCI mode (using F6) it works great... that way I dont need to change SATA Bios settings each time I switch OSs!

 

sorry again good luck!

Thanks for trying, it's very kind of you.

 

I really understand that you cant unplug everything to just connect an IDE DVDR.

 

Just in case in the future, if you have to modify your mobo and remenber this thread,

could you try the IDE connector and report.

 

Today i'am not in a hurry and just wait to see what news will provide Leopard come out.

You can also do a search for ACHI post install XP and there are a couple of tricks that you can do with the registry and command line in XP to install ACHI after the install. It works with the P5K series and other P35 series MOBOs. I have done it myself and it worked great.

I installed with Uphuck 1.4i r2 a few days ago.

 

System:

CPU: E6600

MoBo: P5K (plain P5K)

NIC: Intel Pro 1000MT PCI (damn Attansic :D)

GPU: MSI 7900GTO 512MB (with patched bios)

Several HDDs

Old DVD Writer with IDE->SATA Adapter

New Apple Keyboard (really slim)

 

My Experience:

- Jmicron in AHCI works, but was to buggy for me. I forced my Bios back to 406 to enable SATA AHCI (with afudos211)

- Intel NIC won't work with IONetworkingfamily.kext from installation disk (...you have to restart your computer...), but IONetworkingfamily.kext from 10.4.4 works perfect.

- Sound was no problem with IDs found in this forum (2 channel of course)

- The newest Quicktime Update screwed my Rosetta functions (all workarounds tested, no go -> new installation :-(

- OSX HDD plugged to SATA1 (red) and DVD to SATA2 (red) works best for me

- HDDs at SATA 3+4 are not regonized (no Prob, plugged in my Windose HDDs)

- I do NOT install the Apple Keyboard driver after a search in forums

 

Overall: no problems. Standby->OK / no crashes at all while using and installing Software several days (24/7) / Performance is great - Quake4/UT2004/Prey works great under OSX

Hi, all. [Guide] ASUS P5K Vanilla : Installing Leopard

( http://forum.osx86scene.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2566 )

 

 

I'd really would like to see a guide like this but for Tiger. Many of us can not migrate to Leopard yet because of the apps that ar not working yet. An there's still a lot of them

.

 

cheers

The P5K-E board has a different LAN, so it works :D.

 

I got everything but sound to work so far. :P

 

hey nor have I, the graphics, chipset drivers are all sorted have the same board as you.

Did you get the audio working m8? any help much appreciated, have tried the default Generic AC97

drivers but to no joy.

 

Regards,

Toe.
