Khuat Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hi everyone, this is my first post in this great community. Well, i tried to install the JaS OSX 10.4.8 but my SATA HDD wasn't recognized by the Disk Utility bundled with the installer. Note: My HDD has 250 GB of capacity, the unallocated partition size is 50 GB. My computer specs... Processor: PentiumD 820 (S) DC 2,8 GHz Chipset: ATI Radeon Xpress 200 for Intel processors Motherboard: ECS RC410M Motherboard HP/Compaq name: Asterope3-GL8E HDD: SAMSUNG SP2504C ATA device I'm using the JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3 Iso image to install. Is there a way to make my HDD recognizable for the disk utility? Thank you in advance.

T4RZ4N Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 You need to create a partition first. Something along the line of create partition primary id=af Disk Utility doesn't recognize unallocated space.

heartfelt Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I've got this same problem. I see the DVD drive, and the DVD I'm using to install. Would this be a driver error? Or what? I really have no idea...

T4RZ4N Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Are the hard disk used IDE or SATA? Check if the controller on your motherboard works in http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.4.8 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/55181-disk-utilityinstaller-doesnt-recognize-my-partitioned-sata-hdd/#findComment-395613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xalexas Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Similar problem for me in LEO. Installer recognize only master disk but only if any other disks are disconnected. Didn't manage to recognize other disks and even after successful install. mobo ASUS P5KC P35 Intel with all SATA disks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/55181-disk-utilityinstaller-doesnt-recognize-my-partitioned-sata-hdd/#findComment-519402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
