Finally upgraded my OSX86 to run in SATA. Previous my OSX 10.4.8 was running using IDE and since the drive start giving me error I decided to upgrade it to SATA. Below just a summary of steps I used;
- Intall the AppleNForceATA.kext (SATA driver for nForce chipset)
- Delete all the partition in the destination drive then use Disk Utilities to create a blank partition. Do not user the First Aid option cause this will not create a bootable partition for you. I learn this the hard way.
- Use SuperDuper to clone the HDD
The hardware I used for my OSX86 are below;
- MoBo Abit AN8 Ultra (nForce 4 Ultra Chipset)
- CPU AMD Athlon X2 3800+
- 2GB RAM
- 80GB SATA II
- USB Mouse & Keyboard (yet to figure out how to use PS/2 Keyboard)
- Dell 17" Ultra Sharp LCD
