-aKy- Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 yeah, its because of your SATA drive, use an IDE HDD and everything should be fine. Installing OSX on Nforce4 SATA is nearly impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snowski Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Installing from DVD will indeed be impossible since it needs the SATA drivers on install. You will need to create an install on a PATA drive and then clone it with hatchery (hackintosh mode) to the SATA drive. Also make sure all the IDE channels are enabled cause disabling those slows down my OSX86 boot process by a lot. Good luck lad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
