bydox Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Hi ! I've a problem when I try to install Mac Osx86. During the installation, I have to chose where (on which partition) I want to install the OS (JaS 10.4.8 distribution) ... but, I don't see my partitions, the same for my HardDrive ... It only recognize my CD Drive and the CD which is in. Here are my partitions (on Vista) : (there's a 8 Go Restoration Partition, a 131 Go System Partition and the 9 Go Partition in which I want to install Osx86). What can I do in order to install Osx86 ? Thank you a lot ! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/63422-unrecognized-partition/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrdave2304 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I have a similar problem. Following this guide everything runs smoothly until step #6. Installer boots up and everything is fine until i get to the "Select a Destination" step in the porcess and there is no destination for me to select. Specs: MSI K8T-NEO FIS2R (VIA K8T800 chipset) - i believe driver file for HDD is viaraid.sys 160GB SATA HDD Gigabyte Radeon 9600XT (gv-r96x128d) I'm guessing I need to somehow include the sata driver on the installation disk. Is there a thread or somewhere else that tells me how to do that? Let me know if you need any information or if i should start my own topic. Appreciate any help!
