ignotusnl Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I've got a problem: I can boot up fine the Kalyway DVD (10.5.2), but when I want to use Disk Utility to partition my Harddrive, Disk Utility doesn't mention my hdd. What boot options do I have to use or do I have to do something else? My specs: Motherboard: Asrock 4CoreDualVsta CPU: Intel Core 2 Q6600 HDD: Samsung HD501LJ (500GB) ATA-SATA-II (34GB WinXP, Primary 60 GB Free Space, 100 GB WinVista, 255 GB Data) DVD: Optiarc DVD RW AD-5170A (ATA ATAPI) Video: Nvidia Geforce 8400GS RAM: 2GB DDR2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/99659-disk-utility-doesnt-see-my-harddisk/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignotusnl Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 The 3 partitions are all NTFS. I have got 60 GB unallocated. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/99659-disk-utility-doesnt-see-my-harddisk/#findComment-711377 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyphon Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Yeah, make sure your partition is formatted to something (even RAW). If it's just unallocated, it won't see it.

ignotusnl Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 I use the Kalyway_10.5.2_DVD_Intel_Amd . I can see my hdd with windows. I'm quite new to osx86. I just press enter, because I don't know what the other kernels do.

I just press enter, because I don't know what the other kernels do. from my understanding that you never install Leopard or Tiger in your PC befor! ok, this is just the start even if you can load the Leopard installation you have no idea what is your hardware requerments! befor you start with this you need to find out what do you need for your hardware like sound card, video card, LAN or WIFI,..etc then you start installing your Leopard this way you are not going to be mad and you don't know what is going on with your Leopard, then you come back and say nothing working... save your time and find out what you need first and then we can help you!
