Domestic Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 ello all I have problem installing osx 10.5.1 on my ATA WD disk, because osx can't recognize it. the disk is fully recognized in BIOS and Windows among other sata disks. I am using three disks, one ata on which I want to install osx, and two sata disks (windows system disk and data disk). I have also Plextor dvd-rw on sata conector and all sata drives are recognized in osx installation, I just can't see my ata disk. I have searched forum for any similar problems but didn't find anything. I am using Intel DP35DP motherboard with Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4 ghz processor. I appreciate any informations and help! have phun Iztok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domestic Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 it seems nobody has a clue about that problem. I know this is odd issue cause ata is old technology but I am not installing osx first time, I had Tiger installed year ago (I think it was 10.4.3), but I have new hardware now and I desperately want to test Leopard and I have no idea how to fix ata disk. Is there anyone with same motherboard using ata disk for Leopard? tnx and have phun Iztok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domestic Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 this is so strange... I searched forum and figured out that many users have problems with sata drives. I have just the opposite problem, all my sata drives are recognized perfectly, but my ide disk isn't on which I want to install Leopard. is there really nobody who can give me a hint?

HenkX Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hi Domestic, There have been reported similar problems with your board (http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.in...7914267499471f6) Probably you can find problem/answer in the info in the above link.

Domestic Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 tnx for reply and I read that thread but that user's problem is not similar to mine, cause my devices are working perfectly in bios and I can boot from any device I want (ide and sata). also everything works perfectly in windows xp, but system profiler can't detect my ide-ata disk in kalway leopard 10.5.1 installation. I also downloaded and tried Jas 10.4.8 tiger but there are even stranger things happening, never mind... I think this has something to do with leopard compatibility with my intel dp35dp board, but I saw on this forum that some users successfully installed leopard 10.5.1 on same motherboard, but I didn't find anyone using ide-ata disk. Has anybody installed leopard 10.5.1 on ide-ata disk with dp35dp or any other motherboard? have phun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
