AndrewNZ Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Installer doesn't see my IDE internal drive but it boots as a USB2 drive OK. Done the usual searches but nothing turned up. Lots of SATA issues but... Is there a script or a kext that can solve this problem? Thanks for any and all advice. Problem sorted. Cheers, Andy. PS: Uphuck 10.4.9 v1.4 r3 install.

Thanks in advance for any help offered. Cheers, Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got LAN going by using an old RealTek cheapie, and sound finally (SigmaTel 9271D) with the help of KextHelper and advice from others who had issues and fixed them. As per your suggestion, I used a PATA>SATA adapter to convert the IDE drive now which works fine - way quicker than the USB external I had to use before then - but I'm forced to use AHCI instead of the native SATA BIOS setting. That means I can't dual boot because my Vista install is using SATA RAID0. I have to change the BIOS sttings to go from one to the other which is a PITA. I'll edit the thread starter to reflect the fact that I no longer need the help. Thanks for you response. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
