fmma Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 My hardware: Acer aspire SA90 with SiS chipset, dual2core . I think here starts already my problem (not intel chipset). Booting with JAS 10.4.8 SSE2,SSE3 works until you have to choose the drive. No drive appears. Also diskuti does not show the drive either. Profiler i not recognizing the SATA drive. However, a exteernal firewire or USB drive is recognized. I can even install on the external drive, but I'm unable to boot from such drive. I'm wondering if there is a work around ? or should I just give up. I'm hoping someone can advise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fjelheim Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I dunno if this will help, but this was what i did. Start/run type in diskpart (or diskpartin) type list disk select the physical disk u have a partition to install Tiger on. (eg select disk 0). Type list partition. Type create partition primary id=af . Type active. Or "set active" whitout "". To boot into Windows, install Tiger, or pop in windows install disk and boot from it >>list disk >>select disk [the number of your disk] >>list partition >>select partition [the number of your windows partition] >>active (if this doesn’t work, try ’set active’ without quotes) Hope this helps...

Slinger2g Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 There is a diskutility error on that version of Jas install dvd. As well as no such support for SATA HDD's. You need to DL the KALYWAY 10.4.10 SSE2 SSE3 AMD INTEL iso. Sata is supported on that dvd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmma Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Many thanks for your suggestions Unfortunately none worked for me. - Westwaerts, I have a Phoenix BIOS which does not have the 'AHCI' option - Fjelheom, I opened a terminal session but I didn't find diskpart or diskpatin. However 'diskutil list' did not show the drive (disk 0 was the cd, followed by smaller disks). - Sling2g, I have tried also the 10.4.10 from Kalyay anf also 10.5. Always se same, I can't see the harddrive. I think I have no change until someone comes up with the sis SATA support. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
