nightlifeprophet Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 thanks for the idea but it didnt work. could this be a problm because my motherboard doesn't have firewire support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh256 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 That's possible but it wouldn't matter as you don't need firewire to boot OSX.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I got the root device error because OS X wasn't reading my SATA controllers right. After I installed the SATA driver the error went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
