Mysticus C* Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Cant you see that the first picture is taken of Disk Utility?! The HDD is simply not shown even in the Disk Utility. that sounds like u have unsupported chipset... or u r using sata drive on this chipset... try pata drive...

smorf Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 well, this is not a new problem. it seems as if your hdd controller has a chipset, that´s not supportet by toh. i don´t know what kind of controller this board has, but you might want to give kalyways installation disk a chance. it has support for more controllers than toh has.

Richsanto89 Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 Thanks Smorf!!!Today I will try to install the kalyways.Do you may link a good Guide to Installation? thanks. I have noticed is that by linking a hard drive outside Iomega Disk Utility it identifies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
