this is really getting frustrated. my hard drive cant be detected on the disk utilities so i can install leopard. a lot of ppl have the same problems and we just couldnt solve it. is this even possible to solve? and what about changing from IDE to AHCI does that work if so how to you do that?

BTW i did everything right on this video's instructions YouTube - How to Dual-Boot Windows XP & Mac OS X on a pc Part 1


my specs are:
amd athlon 64x2
ati hd radeon 4800 512mb
4gb ram
500gb seagate baraccuda

Hiya there whats your motherboard, try to put your IDE HDD alone as master with the jumper and no with cable select, I dont think you need AHCI try that and post back, you can always try with another distro like kalyway or leo4all

I have Asus M3A
I also used Acronis os selector and kalyway
i think im just gonna install leopard later coz i lost patient im gonna try windows 7 for now. thxx though
