themediasoldier Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I tried to get it working on mine for nearly a week. Gave up. There is a method of booting into xp from a usb and then pre-formatting the hard drive. I've actually got the HDD to show up in disk utility but I don't get anything after installing the os and rebooting. (uphuck 10.4.9) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themediasoldier Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 That's what I was trying to tell you. This is how I got my hard drive to show up. http://osx86.thefreesuite.com/leo_amd.php Specifically referring to step 5, 5. In the command window, type: >> List disk >> Select disk [disk #] >> List partition >> create partition primary id=af >> active The only way (personally) I have got this to work is by booting off of a usb and then formatting the hard drive inside my laptop from windows xp.
