By the way, what type of computer and bios do you have if you know?
completely different. My CPU is AMD Athlon 64 x2. Not sure what my motherboard is though.
Use the search guys - there are dozens of threads dealing with that problem just here on the forums.
Hardwarepart you need to check for is your mainboards southbridge & wether you need a custom kernel extensions for it to work with OS X, or if you might be able use ahci capability (if present) to make SATA devices work.
