has anybody got any kexts so i can use my sata drives in os x the chipset is nforce 730a and the motherboard is asus men79-eh my music is on a windows partion and id like to use it, iv got everything else working including the ide drive osx is on.

any ideas?

First thing to do is check and see if your sata's device & vendor id is in the AppleNForceATA.kext. If it isn't then thats your problem, you can work out your drives ID by using PCIUtils.

ok i used pci utils and it came up with this

Ok scrap that, i've found an easier app to get your vendor and device ids:

http://v4.kazzuya.com/dpcimanager

When running it, the first column is your device and vendor id (in that order).

Let me know how you get on

ok here is a link for a snapshot http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3244/...23a62ca7_o.png

I am unsure which one is your sata/ide controller from this listing.
To make sure you can also try with ioregistryexplorer for mac

Also here are the tips for finding device and vendor ids:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=36764

As you said you have also windows installed, you can boot into windows and go to device manager. Find your device, Sata/Ide controller, under properties go to Details tab for your sata controller and change to Hardware ID's. Its all explained there, the link at insanelymac forum. Then you should be able to find it and add it to your applenforceata.kext. Let us know the progress.

i added it to the plist of that kext and it didnt work

will you post device and vendor id and i'll try to add to that kext and upload for you to see if its gonna work.

10de-0ad0 and 10de-0759 for ide channels vendor id and hardware ids

here you go:
