calcium20 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 So I just managed to get my hands on the Leo4All image, and surprisingly enough this one boots up on my laptop Hp dv9000 amd turion 64x2 2gb ram nvidia mcp67m broadcom wireless 2 x120gb sata hdds this is the first image that has actually booted up to the installer for me, so yes I was quite excited, however a problem arises when I go to install, none of my drives show up! I have partitioned and left 25gb unallocated space for the installer to pick up on, but it doesnt show any of my drives! So i tried the disk utility to see if it detected them, and it failed to as well. Just wondering what the next step is to get my drives detected so I am able to install?

"Whats the device ID for that Nforce chipset? IDE and SATA." 0x053110de is the device ID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

argonlazer Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 ok i get the same problem but there is a way round it take your harddrive out and put it in a harddrive external case then plug it in and install Or put it in a friends pc then install through there pc then put it back in your pc I have exactly the same problem and I was considering doing something like this as I do have a 2.5" external casing. Would this actually work? I fear that I would just get a Chain0 boot error or OSX86 not actually recognising the drive it's installed on? Wouldn't that work the same as installing OSX86 on an external hard drive and then ghosting it onto the internal drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
