[ROYality]

Hey!
I tried to install iAtkos on my PC, but when the install guid come to the hard disk select, there are no disks to display, it's a 500GB SATA disk, and it's have a 3 primery partitions on NFTS format,
Does anyone know what is my problem?
thenx alot!,
Roy.

Your problems seems to be the chipset support. If the installer doesnt have to proper kext for your chipset, then in most cases it wont be able to see any SATA drives. What's your chipset, and have you tried other distros ( iPC or XxX ) ?

I have Intel P45 on Gigabyte motherboard..
thenx for the quick answer!
Roy,
p.s, is there any chance that the reason of it is that the hard disk doesn't formatted to hfs format?

Im complety new to OSX86 and a noob at it. But you said

3 primery partitions on NFTS formatMac os x cant read NFTS formats. Format one of them into FAT32 and then format that partition again in the install into Mac os x journaled

Oh, that's a thing that i haven't thought about..
I'm on windows vista, and can't format the disk to this format.
Does anyone know about a free tool to format it to FAT32?
Thenx again!! :)

Well, it's alright now! i used the utilities in the installation DVD to make it FAT and then HFS
thenx to all of you! :)
