Install Failed : Could not validate the contents of the "******" package

[win2000b]

This is really annoying.

 

About a month ago I installed Kalaway on a dual boot with Vista. Worked a treat.

 

Then I blew the MAC OS away.

 

Now when trying to reinstall it I keep getting messages during install.

 

It says Could not validate the contents of the essentials package, then sometimes it will say BSD package and sometimes will just say Source media is corrupt.

 

I have tried the OLD install dvd i used, also have burnt about 4 different copies onto different media, still the same. I even put the iso onto a hard drive and booted of that. So was installing from a hard drive. Still the same.

 

One time it did get through okay and then i tried updating to 10.5.4 and then it failed and no longer booted. Anyone got any ideas?

 

Thanks.

must be a problem with the installation media. Try burning it on the lowest speed possible. i've had the same problem before. I just burnt the iso i downloaded to a new DVD and it solved my problem.

 

hope it helps.
