I'm trying to help a buddy of mine install OS X on his new Mini 10V, but only the USB drive is showing up in Disk Utility. Any ideas?

1.I was able to make the usb drives with the images from the mechdrew site.

2.I have the new snow leopard disk that I made an image with Macdrive and
PowerISO.

3. Downgraded to A04 bios

4. Boots up with the Chameleon bootloader w/o a problem.

5. I select the "Mac OSX Install Disc"

6. It starts reading from my usb drive the the image.

7. Then it stops and gives me an error telling me " You must reboot" in multiple languages.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG! PLEASE HELP.

Having the same problem as after choosing the OS install DVD from the chamelon, it tells me that I have to restart my computer in 5 different languages!!!!

Did anyone had/solve this problem???

Look in the BIOS at the SATA operation. Change it to SATA or Legacy and try again. That's a total guess, but I've seen it in Dell's Latitude series before.

I should have kept my mouth shut. This thing runs a totally different BIOS than the Latitude series. There's no way to change the SATA operation in there.

Another thought, though, can you take the HD out and slap it into a USB/SATA enclosure, format it on another PC, then try again? Apologies if this has been suggested.

I installed mac osX fine and perfeclty on my 10v
When i went to install the latest updates it said it couldn't install them and it restarted, now when it boots up it stay on the same screen with a grey apple

Any suggestions on how to fix this, should i just reinstall?

I'm having the same issue. I downgraded my bios to A04.

Curious, does anyone else with this issue have the Samsung HM160HI ATA Hard drive?

Any help would be appreciated.

Before you updated, can we assume you read this thread and downloaded the newest NBI version?

Have the same problem with a Corsair SSD so I tried installing with NetBookCD and the installation DVD and the SSD showed up! SL is installing right now.

Maybe people where the hard drive does not show up in Mac disk utility should find a friend with a Mac and create the USB OS 10.6 install disk on the Mac to see if that helps.
That's how I did mine and everything went flawless and very quick.
On the Mac creating the USB install disk took just under 15 minutes - no special software needed, you do it right in the Mac disk utility application.

The thing is that is exactly what I have done and the ssd doesn't show up in Disk Utility. But it did show up when using the NetBookCD method. Unfortunatly the NBI didn't function at reboot. It seems my 10V is not a fan of the Corsair F120.
