No Hard Drives In Disk Utility

Well now I can boot into the iATKOS DVD fine with the new patch. The problem is the disk utility cannot see my SATA HD, any suggestions? The funny thing is, I can see the disks in the Kalyway DVD, but the DVD hangs during the install. Maybe there is something I can bring over from that DVD to make iATKOS work?

Of course that is not all, but the rest are about power, memory clocks or w/e and floppy drives. Although if you need more I can post it.

Hi Jaded,

 

any progress since XMas?

 

I have not seen many sucessful cases with Pentium D. Anyway the problem seems to be the driver from your disk controller (IXP???). Kalyway sure has a good set of drivers.

 

I'm in a similar scenario. Core2Duo laptop functionnal. Trying on AMD Turion64 laptop with uphuck 10.4.9 v2 (AMD+Intel), I can't detect the disks. However, the Intel version of uphuck dvd (v4) can detect the disks, but obviously it will not work with the Turion CPUs.

 

I wish someone would help us. For now im downloading uphuck 10.4.9 v4 AMD version and Kalyway 10.5.1 AMD...

Hi.

I am getting the same problem on a BENQ A32 laptop.

It also has an ATI x200 chipset graphics card but the installer seems to work perfectly until it has to detect the volumes and then nothing, disk utility does not seem any local drives either.

Hmm... Have you tried searching for the drives via terminal and manually mounting them?

 

Disk utility will show all Devices/Volumes, mounted or not. The problem are kexts and some OSX86 DVDs are better than others. If your disk controller is not functionnal try another distrib. Also recommend trying Tiger before Leo unless you have common Core2Duo hardware.
