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 ) ?

Roy,
p.s, is there any chance that the reason of it is that the hard disk doesn't formatted to hfs format?

Mac 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!!
Roy.
