    Unhappy HDD not detected, no AHCI option in BIOS.


    My problem is this. I have a supported Mobo, (Eclipse SLI X58) but on accessing the installer, I see absolutely none of my hard drives. I used the MBR patch, but from past experience it's nothing to do with that, as in order to tell me to use the GUID partition scheme, OS X has to acknowledge my Drives' existences first.

    Why is this happening?

    Can you select "enhanced" or "compatible" in the HDD settings maybe?
    If there is something weird on your disk, try GParted Magic for running an OS to determine whether your box works at all.
    GParted has some useful hardware reporting tools or low level formatting options.
