GreatWalrus Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I've installed Leopard on an external USB Hard drive. Now I can't see my internal hard drive anywhere on leopard - including my computer, disk utility and terminal "diskutil list" Does anyone know how I can find/mount it? Thank you! Oh, and I would like to add that the internal drive is fully bootable with both linux ubuntu and vista on it... which makes even less sense. Could it be because it is external?

Gujal Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Leopard by default only sees AHCI Sata Drives. If you are having SATA drives, then you have to change it to AHCI in BIOS Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93793-leopard-does-not-find-my-internal-drive-where-is-it/#findComment-668677 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatWalrus Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 that's most likely an option in bios? I'm not sure if I've seen that before, but I could take a thorough look.Or could it be like physically editing the bios or something?Scratch that, I do not have the ahci option in bios. :\ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93793-leopard-does-not-find-my-internal-drive-where-is-it/#findComment-668690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 In that case you may need a patched AppleVIAATA.kext or IOATAFamily.kext, both of which are available in the forums Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93793-leopard-does-not-find-my-internal-drive-where-is-it/#findComment-670038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
