Cannot Install....

[sardopsycho]

Ok gang, maybe you folks can give me some insight as to what the heck might be going on...

 

I have attempted to install multiple images of Mac OSX 10.4 & 10.5 builds. It always freezes just before or just after firewire securities.

I am stuck...All my hardware checks out 100%, and also is supported by the hardware compatability list - anyone have any ideas to why why this may be happening?

 

Any information would be great - I have listed my specs below - Thank You In Advance!
