You can't just use a Mac OS X DVD to install the operating system. You need a patched DVD if I'm correct, such as the JaS or uphuck DVDs.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, someone.

 

 

EDIT: I misread what disk you have (JaS AMD-Intel). This might be a problem with recognizing your hard drive.

goooood you can't read [so when i boot from the Mac DVD ( Mac_OS_X_10.4.8_[JaS_AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3...)]

 

he as the MacOsX from jas !!!!!!!

 

 

 

so about your problem

This MB doesn't work with SATA Drives

 

if you have a ATA drive(if not you need to by a SATA to IDE converter)

you need set dvd as primary master and ATA hdd as secondary master it works.

disable serial and LP1 ports make sure to disable legacy usb

its strange that but it´s easily resolved

 

 

if you have windows on other disk

download MacDrive from this site http://www.divshare.com/download/635406-792

install it and you now can write and read on your Mac HDD

 

so to format the disk go to Startmenu->programs->MacDrive7->tools->format and repair mac disks

then on the program click modify ---->then select your disk and format it

 

in dont know about linux you'll have to google it

 

 

 

 

so any problemm please email me
