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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/80911-1051-leopard-installation-problem/ 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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/80911-1051-leopard-installation-problem/#findComment-573884 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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/80911-1051-leopard-installation-problem/#findComment-574858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
