hello,

 

i just recently got the uphack 10.4.9 and was reading on this page on how to install it.

http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Vmware_how_to

 

everything is fine until i have to select a hdd for installation. As per the wiki it tells me this...

 

Select the VMware drive on the left. Click "partition" on the right. Change the Volume Scheme to 1 partition and choose a name. The format should stay "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" and the partition should use all space available. Click "partition", then "partition" again. After it is finished (progress in bottom right), you can close the Disk Utility. Your drive now shows up in setup. Proceed, proceed.i did all that but on the left pane all i see is the dvd drive image and the uphack install. I cant see the 20GB drive i setup on my vmware. what could be wrong? I dont see any disk drives available for partition, everything is greyed out if i select any of the 2 drives available.

 

Core2Duo 6300

Nvidia 7600GT

2GB Memory(patriot)

SATA(western digital drives)

 

help me!

 

thanks
