allowen Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 If your SATA controller is recognized by the installer, just install 10.4.9 to your SATA drive. If not : install 10.4.9 to a IDE device then install SATA drivers, reboot. Now use carbon copy cloner to clone your IDE partition with os x to your SATA drive. Reboot, cross fingers Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56241-uphuck-1049-on-sata-how-to/#findComment-401904 Share on other sites More sharing options...

allowen Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 install first on a PATA (IDE) drive, then install nforce4 SATA kext, reboot, then clone your drive using carbon copy cloner. Have you another SATA controller on your motherboard ? like "silicon image" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56241-uphuck-1049-on-sata-how-to/#findComment-401930 Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzrabbit Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Hi all You know what the biggest problem is with the SATA - its that the device and vendor id's, there is so many that if they don't match any in the info.plist the kext will not load.
