ide pata hd erase error, same hd works fine on usb box

[pippopippo1]

Lot of hours wasted in trying installing Leopard or 10.4.8 Jas.

 

my configuration:

 

Processor: Intel E6550

Mother Board:ASUS P5k-vm

Chipset: Intel® G33

South Bridge Chip: Intel ICH9JMicron®

JMB368 PATA and SATA controller

HD: Pata Maxtor 320G

 

Formatted HD with Pmagic, 2 partitions: the first fat32 Primary and the second one unallocated.

Ide setted to Ahci, boot from Sata DVD driver, works fine.

 

BrazilMac Install don't see HD where install, in Utility disk I can see the HD but erasing got error i/o.

 

Jas 10.4.8. don't see HD where install, don't see HD in Utility disk.

 

The same HD (Pata Maxtor 320G), installed on a external usb<-->pata Box, works fine.

 

With Jas 10.4.8. I can erase and install, it boots perfectly from external USB HD.

 

Why erasing the same HD with IDE PATA Cable doesn't work?

 

Could it work erasing from the external usb<-->pata box and then moving the HD to the IDE PATA calbe and install?

 

help please, I know You have a trik for me!
