bishop7 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 From my experience most SATA HDs do not work. I recommend getting a IDE HD. They are available at most retail stores and online too!

gengis_khan Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I think the problem is not the barracuda disk. I have the same mobo and in the both OSx86 (tiger and leopard) don't recognize the ULi sata controller! Try to use the PATA.

MacIntelOSh Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Some motherboards won't show their SATA drives when you boot using OSX - and unless it's configerable in your BIOS you won't be able to do anything about it in most cases, period. Best bet as some one else mentioned is to get a dirt cheap IDE drive and whack it in - it'll save you driving yourself nuts and is less hassle than changing your motherboard, unless of course you plan to do that anyway for some other reason i.e. upgrade etc. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/79002-harddisk-isnt-recognised/#findComment-573912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
