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. :-)

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?

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

Ok.. i haven't really messed with this a whole lot. can you point me in the right direction for me to do some "figuring out" on how to do that? also, I've noticed comments about problems arising w/ nvidia kexts.... do i have to worry about that/

 

Thanks for your help, I appreciate your time!

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?
