DarkmetalX Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hey everyone, I'm new here. This site seems to be really great and has already helped me with several problems, but I can't seem to find a solution for this: I downloaded the Kalyway Leopard 10.5.1 zip. After a long time figuring out how to properly unzip it, I downloaded StuffIt Expander for Windows and used that to unpack the iso. It left me with a folder called "KALYWAY_LEO_10.5.1intel_SSE2_SSE3" with 5 files inside. These are the 5 files: .DS_Store kalyway_leo_10.5.1.iso READ ME Before install.rtf screen1.tiff screen2.tiff So I burned the ISO file to a DVD with Imgburn, at 1X speed to remove any errors. But the disc came out with only 192KB of data on it, despite the ISO being 4.37 GB. I read somewhere that this was caused by the filesystem on the DVD being unreadable by Windows (I'm using Vista 64-bit) so I took the disc out of the drive and flipped it over to look at the little line formed when data is burned. I noticed that the little line uses up almost none of the disc. The burned area extends about 1.5-2 mm from the inside edge of the readable area of the disc, meaning that only about 1% of the disc was actually used in the burning. This tells me that I am seeing only 192 KB not because Windows can't read the file system, but because the disc didn't burn properly. I proceeded to burn the ISO another 4 times, with CDBurnerXP, Alcohol 120%, PowerISO, and then with ImgBurn again, all to the same results. So now I am left with 5 coasters and no working Leopard install disc. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? (Even if it's only a guess?)

bodyboarding_bum Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Maybe try a different DVD media (eg, different brand). Or perhaps your download is corrupt? Could even be the burning program... there is allot of different variables unfortunately.

DarkmetalX Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 Thanks for the suggestions. I tried 3 different brands of DVD, re-downloaded the file, re-downloaded again, tried with a few other burning programs and still, no disc. I don't understand why I'm having so much trouble burning this disc... Is it maybe because my DVD drive is IDE and my hard drive is SATA?

My solution is download 10.5.2 Right now, i'm trying to install on my Fujitsu S6410.

Gujal Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 First thing The file you downloaded is an ISO not a ZIP. If you try to unzip you will end up with 192KB only as the file system is HFS+ after that. Whatever you downloaded is fine, just burn as it is with Imgburn, it is freeware Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/113691-kalyway-iso-doesnt-burn-properly/#findComment-808066 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkmetalX Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Oh, so I should burn the zip file right to the disc? Not the iso file? Because the file I downloaded at first is definately a .zip file. It says .zip as the file extension. EDIT: I'm going to try your fix, OCORHI, and download the 10.5.2 iso. I have only tried the 10.5.1 so far, so perhaps this will solve the problem. By the way, thanks for all the help you guys Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/113691-kalyway-iso-doesnt-burn-properly/#findComment-809766 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkmetalX Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 No matter what I do, I can never seem to burn these discs properly. Do I need a mac to burn the ISOs properly? Or does Vista 64-bit not burn them correctly? I don't understand why this isn't working... I've tried everything Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/113691-kalyway-iso-doesnt-burn-properly/#findComment-814800 Share on other sites More sharing options...
93bh Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Read This Thread. You still have 4.4 GB in the DVD that you burn. Check it with TransMAC. This stuff cannot read by Windows. Also make sure that you have SATA DVD Drive, or else it won't install.
