Guys,

I can not get my SATA HDD to show up on desktop. System profiler says disk is an EXTERNAL HDD.

What can I do?

ICH9R on Gigabyte EP35-DS3P Vanilla Install w/ DSDT override for Vid/Eth/Sound

OK, First, click on your desktop. It should say finder on the menubar. Click "Finder" and click "preferences" Select Hard Disks.

About them showing as external, you need a kext. IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext (http://cid-8b65993ef55cf014.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/OSx86/Snow%20Leopard/Drivers%20kext%20^5Sterowniki^6/==%20Other%20Peripheral%20Devices%20^5Inne^6%20==/IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext.zip)

Thanks! I am currently using this kext (a slightly newer rev.) loading from /Extra w/ Chameleon 2 RC3. Do I need to load it somewhere else?

When I said 'showing" as external I meant under system profiler. Can this be corrected w/ SMBIOS.plist?
