karishbhr Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I am using the same MOBO and everything else from my last install that worked perfectly, but i broke that HD on accident and got a new one... they are/were both SATA. For some reason the current drive does not show up in the Leopard installer. XP and Ubuntu both recognize the drive perfectly. Any ideas?

kamikaze Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 It's probably, that your drive is not connected to the right SATA port, on some motherboards only port 1 & 2 work, on others JMicron requires a special driver that your Bios setting are not set as AHCI Let us know Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/75139-sata-drive-doesnt-show-up-in-installer/#findComment-531265 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only mentions of SATA in bios are "Auto, Combined, Non-Combined, Enhanced, Disable" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/75139-sata-drive-doesnt-show-up-in-installer/#findComment-531685 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only mentions of SATA in bios are "Auto, Combined, Non-Combined, Enhanced, Disable" You know.. very few amoung us have telepathy skills... So if you want help you will need to tell us more about your hardware. I mean the exact details: motherboard maker/version, IDE config...etc. Think buddy, how can one find your problem if you don't disclose any details...
