Hi,
I'm trying to install Iatkos on my pc but when I click on Disk Utility to choose the partition on which install the OS, the list is empty.
Iatkos sees no partition, both the original on which I installed Vista and the second configured for Leopard.

What should I do?

make sure it is ntfs in windows, and then format it as mac osx (journaled) on the install disk

Yes. The partition is NTFS but iatkos doesn't read it and so I can install Leopard nowhere. The only disk it reads is a pen drive in FAT32.

does it fail to see the partition or the whole disk?
in the later case the problem would be the missing chipset (ide/sata) support for your board.

The whole disk.
However I also think that the problem is the chipset support... I should choose the AHCI mode.

How can I choose the AHCI mode during the installation?

I met the same problem that I can not see the target hard drive....

Thanks!
