Gynn R. Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hello, I have one problem, I have gone through steps 1-6 successfully, but during installation it asks me for a volume to install on, so then I open Disk Utility, but the only volume it recognizes is my DVDRW Drive! I am running on a nForce 4 SATA chipset and a AMD processor. All help in getting it recognized would be highly appreciated! Thank you very much! I've set aside 65 GB partition for OS X. The guide Im using is right here: http://www.profit42.com/index.php/2007/04/...indows-machine/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-aKy- Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Use a PATA HDD. Booting native from Nforce4 SATA doesn't work. If you're on a laptop forget about it. until no new drivers for that are presented its nearly hopeless to get it working natively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gynn R. Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 While, I did just find this...but I don't know how to install it... https://developer.berlios.de/projects/nforce4sata I'm not sure how I patch the 10.4.8 ISO with the "kext". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSSlash Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Did you patch it with the 10.4.9 ppf? Â Search "1049" on ThePirateBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gynn R. Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Ok this is weird, it says in the torrent description: "SATA DOESN'T WORK on nF430/MCP51 USE PATA" Yet I am hearing things from many nForce430 users on SATA have had success with this patch...

-aKy- Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 if you get it, tell me how you've done it :censored2: I already spent ages to get this working but with no success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelbz Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hope someone can figure this out, would love to get OS X up and running on my dual core laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-aKy- Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 yeah, would be really nice if someone could start development on this, i guess there are lots of people out there who would like to see osx running on Nforce4 SATA based systems. For desktop users its esasy, buy an IDE HDD and youre fine but those who own a laptop... no chance yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
