Kadir12345 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 (edited) I used the method on ihacked. I got the marklar-tiger.iso with the proper md5, i burnt it on dvd. I formatted my hard drive there is 230gb unallocated space. When i boot the osx86 installer dvd, and go to the disk utility window it doesnt show my hard drive, all it can see is my dvd drive and my dvd of osx86. Why can't it see my hard drive please help. This is my hard drive Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 ST3250823AS 250GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - OEM. My computers specs are: Motherboard - ASUS MB P5WD2 Premium Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 955X ATX Intel Motherboard CPU - Intel Pentium D 820 Smithfield 800MHz FSB LGA 775 Dual Core, EM64T Processor Model BX80551PG2800FN Graphics Card - MSI NX6600GT-TD128E Geforce 6600GT 128MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card I would be very grateful if you can help me thank you Edited December 22, 2005 by Kadir12345 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6050-why-cant-the-osx86-installer-see-my-harddrive/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouch Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 (edited) Suggest you post the name of the SATA controller present on the board, as i can't find your board listed in the wiki as being compatible with osx86, it would be worth finding out if anybody with the same mobo or sata controller has it working. Also try having a look through the bios for any settings pertaining to the SATA side of things and have a fiddle with them. You could also install onto a pata disk and then just image it onto the sata disk.

Victor Gil Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 There has been some problems with the installation of OS X onto SATA disk, I suggest you to try "as 0uch!p0tat0 said" installing on a regular ATA disk and then image it onto the SATA disk...

thrunner Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Motherboard - ASUS MB P5WD2 Premium Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 955X ATX Intel MotherboardGraphics Card - MSI NX6600GT-TD128E Geforce 6600GT 128MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card You have two SATA controllers on this Mobo. Try plugging it into either one. Most likely if they are not supported, you have to try using IDE. I don't think the ITE IDE works either under OSX, so make sure it is plugged into the ICH7R southbridge IDE.

Kadir12345 Posted December 25, 2005 Author Share Posted December 25, 2005 what do you mean image it on to a sata disk. cant i just buy a ata disk and install osx86 on that. Or is it possible to change a sata controller or something? Is osx86 compatible with my hard drive, please help me and give me simple instructions.
