mindwar Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 is there ANY way to get a working osx86 on an ide drive using the asus p5b mobo (with the jmicron controller)? from what i've seen there seems to be a patch that allows installing from an ide dvd drive but havent had much luck searching for info regarding installing to/booting from an ide P-ATA drive. any info would be greatly apreciated thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/64855-osx86-install-on-asus-p5b-ide/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mindwar Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 shipping that to where i'm at would probably get me close to buying a new small sata drive:) anyways what i want to know is if installing and using osx can be done from an P-ATA ide drive hookeup to a asus p5b's jmicron controller. thanks for the sugestion though.
