Etherknot Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I am trying to install MacOSx 10.4.3 8F1111A Patched Jas v4.2b.iso, everything is booting fine, and the installer starts running. I select english as my language, and then agree to the terms. Then OSX askes me where i want to install to and nothing is listed. I ran the disk utility, and none of my disks are listed. I am trying to install to my laptop EDIT I have one 80 gig HD, a 12 gig partition that i set aside for OSX its a sager np8890 intel P4 3.2 ghz with HT ( I hear i should turn it off, but not sure) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9167-act-of-missing-hd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Bear Helms Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I need a web bot to find questions like this and direct people to the Wiki (link in my signature as well as top of screen) and click the link listed for Technical FAQ. There's a topic I wrote about preparing an OS X partition under Windows that you proceed to erase and install upon.

jbjonas Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 if prepping the partition for HFS didn't work, you might have a problem with OSX not seeing your IDE (is it PATA or SATA) controller... Just an idea Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9167-act-of-missing-hd/#findComment-57346 Share on other sites More sharing options...
