Hard Drives not showing up at installation after Hackintosh attempt
I tried a hackintosh attempt today on a friends Acer 4738 laptop. It didn't work and at the end I had to format the hard drives using the Mac Lion Installers Disk utility as Windows wasn't booting up and a Clean Installation of 7 was the only way out.
So using Disk Utility, I formatted with the MSDos file system and then when I tried installing Windows from a DVD the drives wouldn't show up. So I reformatted the hard drive with NTFS file system using Hirens Bootable Disk , still the drives aren't showing up at the installation.
Note - Hard drives show up in BIOS and also on the hirens bootable disk. Also tried toggling between AHCI abd Sata mode, didnt help.
