• [Q] No Harddrive in Mac Installation BridgeHelper-4.0.1 questions
    4 replies, posted
Basically I have an old desktop and always when I was younger tried to install Mac on it, always failed. Lately there has been a release of unibeast, with what I could install Mac os X lion (10.8) So I decided to try it out, put it on a USB stick etc.. now I've came as far as going into the installation , I select the language and hit continue, The normal next step would be going to disk utility and creating a partition, or erasing the disk and making it a journ...etc etc. (PS: Yes I have a legit copy i'm not pirating) So, as I was ready to install it all of the suddenly my hard drive wont show , not in the disk utility nor the installation.. If anyone could help it would be great! Current commands I'm using : -v cpus=1 GraphicsEnabler=No Regards

You may have to update the BIOS on your motherboard, a lot of websites recommend doing this before installing Mac OSX. Be careful though because unless your motherboard has a dual bios, you could brick it, but if you download the BIOS for the correct motherboard model and REVISION number, then you should be fine. My motherboard model had 2 different revisions, I checked via a program called Speccy to make sure I got the right one
