Have an external 250GB SATA drive. Hopefully this will do the AHCI setting :roll:

My BIOS does not support/offer ACHI. SATA control offers RAID or IDE. I dn't ssem to be able to get further than the F5 or alternate fix options after step 4. HDD is formatted NTFS. I have read that older versions eg 10.5.x may work, and I am busy formatting the HDD to FAT32 fs. Any feedback...

I selected the iboot icon, ejected the iBoot CD, installed the DVD, pressed F5, and it defaults to the windows icon. The iBoot iCon disappears The "New Volume' windows icon appears after the iBoot has completed its task. I can toggle between the 2, but I left it on iBoot

I get 2 icons when the iBoot has completed, the iBoot and a Windows icon. I ejected the iBoot CD, inserted Snow leopard, F5'd, and then I get the Windows icon only? Doesn't go further :?: hackintosh iboot screens 001.jpg hackintosh iboot screens 002.jpg

Got past the first hurdle as a matter of testing before taking the BIG INSTALL. Snow Leopard and all other software downloaded and ready to go - almost no money spent :headbang: Spend so far - original box complete - bought years ago, so no cash outlay currently. :P Used IDE HDD...

Sheesh. I must been tired last night. I popped my head into this box that is being reborn as a Hackintosh, and the first thing I see is SATA.. This after being in several shops, making calls and walking in with a (used) 80GB IDE HDD. Oh well, I may be a vintage as well :wtf:

Thank you Evan - This is what I'm looking for. So - mobo and IDE HDD can stay. Great. That's money in the bank. I got the original description wrong. It is actually a Foxconn P4M8907MB

iPhone 4S 64GB JB'd . My intro to the Apple world and im hooked. Next project is to build my Vintage Hackintosh

I use my facetime almost daily . My clients outside South Africa see me more often - good for business.

Sata was back to the future back then. If I need to buy a SATA board I'll be over budget. The object is to not spend, but learn, ask questions, and then I'll go and fly. I've still got my training wheels on. :D ....and thanks mate - I've a lot to learn. and the support's what I need. be nice...

Motherboard Little dyslexic there :lol:

Can't use SATA - MB has no slot.... need to find coupla guidelines like BIOS settings. But will research. Didn't know people are so iCrazy :wtf: :wtf: and now I'm going that way

thanks but I would appreciate some support. Any golden oldies out there who can be my donkey? :geek:

I live in Johannesburg, and am trying to do my first OSx build with loose change. This is (another) personal challenge, and will be very satisfying if I get it right. Previous experience - TBA :D The better of the 2 PC's lying around at home is this one: Motherboard Foxconn P4M8709...
