OSX86 Londoner Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Yeh me too! I have an Acer Aspire 5601 (Intel C.D. 1.6). I used the 10.4.8 JaS and as mentioned I get an installer screen then no drives to select! I've tried downloading and installing the "Documents" version of 10.5.1 (Leopard) for INTEL but it just halts without further response after the following message..... "AppleIntelPIIXPATA: 80-conductor cable not detected on primary channel" Although they are two different installations, maybe the problem is linked? Any ideas? Thanks.
