Well I noticed I cant eject another USB external disks either. But rather snow cant work with the drive compared to plain old Leopard.Ĭould it possibly be the AppleIntelPIIATA.kext or IOATAFamily.kext drivers? I have tried a different AppleIntelPIIATA.kext under iPortable, and it still loads up the OS but I still have the same issues not being able to work with internal HDD. So this is why I dont think its files being open that are preventing me from unmounting/ejecting to format under Snow. So it must be a problem again with using the drive under Snow. I leave it and come back after an hour and still trying to initiate. Went back to disk utilities, erased it (this time it did not complain at all), re-installed OS. But when I choose the partition that I formatted under iDeneb to install Snow to, it just sits there whith the progress bar doing that preparing state (the scrolling white/blue stripes, not the normal progress). Having struggled with Couldn’t Unmount Disk for hours, I re-started my mac with cmd+r, opened terminal and unmounted disk. So after reformatting to HFS+ case-sensitive journel, I exit the installer and reboot and load Snow Leopard to install. So I loaded up the iDeneb DVD installer (which is just Leopard 10.5.8) and I can open Disk Utility and format the partition (because it will unmount successfully). Under any of the versions of Snow I have used I can not eject or unmount and because of that I can not format or install to. I cant not get Snow to install to my laptop as I do not seem to be able to make use of the HDD (internal). After unmounting a disk set, you can disconnect the disk members of the set from your computer. Click the Unmount button in the toolbar or beside the disk set name. But if ideneb format HDD correctly use it to format then restart In the Disk Utility app on your Mac, select the disk set that you want to unmount in the sidebar.
