Raidz1 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hey guys, nice forum and projects you have going on here.. On i'm installing Zephyroth's Leopard 10.5.1 ISO. And following this guide (http://osx86.thefreesuite.com/leo_amd.php) From the step 5: >> List disk >> Select disk [disk #] >> List partition >> create partition primary id=af >> active Entering that in Disk part, gives me an error of: There is insufficient free space ot create a partition at the specified size and offset. Specify different size and ofset values or don't specify to create the maximum sized partition. I have enough space free. on my Main OS, and my Leopard partition. But i did notice that something was not right.. When i typed list partition, it listed my partitions right, but come to my last partition (leopard) It registers the size of 6103MB with an offeset of 106GB. I think that is very odd. As my main partition, has 96 GB with an offset of 10GB. Any help is greatly appreciated. :-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83906-zephyroths-leopard-install-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidz1 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Ok so i just deleted the partition i created, and re did it with disk part and it worked. Now the problem i have came across is that Leopard is not recognizing my Laptop's Hard drive. I am clueless as to why. Any help please?

cgsheen Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Where's your hardware list? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83906-zephyroths-leopard-install-error/#findComment-597533 Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknojunkie Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I think in the disk utilty tap you were supposed to use "erase free space" so it would be clean I don't just my 2 cents Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83906-zephyroths-leopard-install-error/#findComment-597576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilo Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I've had the same not finding the hard drive problem. I am using Zephyroth's disk. It's been checked for errors and my cpu has sse3 capability. Hardware: Toshiba Satellite A215-S5818 (laptop) MB: I'm not positive, I think it's an ATI- if you could help me find out where, let me know CPU: AMD Turion™ 64 X2 TL-60 HD:Toshiba 160GB (5400 RPM); Serial ATA hard disk drive RAM: 2GB PC5300 DDR2 Graphics: ATI x1200 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83906-zephyroths-leopard-install-error/#findComment-609133 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh0td0wn Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 It's the SATA problem. I think you need to get a SATA kext embedded to the ISO file in order for the installer to be able to see your hard drive.

sh0td0wn Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 We'll need the details about your chipset. Find out by going to the Device Manager and looking at Storage Controllers (Look for something that says Serial ATA or SATA controller).

Neilo Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Here's what I found: Under storage controllers I have the following: Microsoft iSCSI Initiator SCSI/RAID Host Controller Under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers: IDE Channel (times three) a few Ricoh memory stick controllers two Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE controller I expanded every tree and found no entries that had the word SATA in it. Sorry that I can't be more helpful. I found this-> http://forum.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/i...php/t62183.html. does that sound like it might apply to me?
