hi,

 

i'm trying to install OSx86 10.4.8 on my pc (AMD X2 5000+, 2x 1GB DDR2, 80GB SATA)

in the setup you have to choose the partition and there you have the disk manager (or whatever it is called, i work with dutch version, so i don't know it in english :P ) and there you can normally format your disk and choose partitions and stuff, but in the left column, the only disk i can see is the DVD... i can't find a hard drive anywhere... someone got an idea how it comes and how it can be fixed???? :D

I am a newbie for Mac OS X, have had my install for 2 days now. I am liking it.

 

Within the Setup program, you can move your mouse all the way to the top and click once. This will bring up the installer menu. From there you can do many things.

 

1. Startup Disk utility, partition, format, create RAID of your HDD. usually if the HDD had some other OS, it is better to use disk-util now and format the partition or create as many as you like.

 

2. You can change / reset user and root password from this menu and couple of other thing.

 

Hope this helps.
