juunbug Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 You can check in the bios to make sure your IDE configuration is set to AHCI. Also, if there is not any drives found during installation, wait 10 minutes in Disk Utility. When Leopard was first released (Retail), a lot of users were experiencing issues with their REAL Macs not finding their drive during installation. Apples response was to give it up to 10 minutes (or so) and it will usually find the drive. This worked most of the time. Give 'er a try.
