dripple Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Attention: NOOB inside! I hoped that I don't have to post here. Almost everything seems to be clear, a lot of posts with a dozend of failures that could happen. But unfortunatly, I'm stuck. - I got a "Macosx 10.4.3 8f1111 For Dtk Userdvd.dmg" and checked the MD5. Perfect. - Converted it by UltraISO to a ISO. Checked MD5. Perfect. - Downloaded JaS Patch 4.2 and checked this MD5. Perfect. - Applied Patch and checked ISO checksum. Perfect. - Mounted ISO and generated checksums with MD5 - Burned ISO and compared checkums. Perfect, all sums match. I created on my second HD a new primary partition (40GB). At first, I tried the VM-Ware way but VM Workstation was not able to see a bootable drive, neither the mounted ISO or the burned DVD. Pressing ESC to get into a boot menu as described didn't work for me. I restarted my PC with the burned DVD and Darwin does his work. The MacOS Installer starts up. I entered the Diskutility and formated the partition to HFS Journaled. I start the installation process (btw. I let him check the DVD first, and no failures were found)... And from now, the things get strange. The installer doesn't finish. After a while, i just stops and ask's me to restart (which won't work, the system hangs) and retry the setup. I burned another DVD and the installer quits on different places either wich DVD I use. The first and the second time, it reaches the printer driver installation, so I deselected them. The third time, the installer stopps at "Java" and the fourth time, it stopped right after "BSD subsystem". I'm using: - Intel Celeron 345 (Prescott) - MSI MS-7095 with P4M266 (VT87551) Chipset - 1.5 GB Ram - 80GB HD with Windows XP - 300GB HD with two partitions: 260GB Windows Data (NTFS), 40 GB (primary) MacOSX - Matrox Millenium G450 I would be very thankfull if someone has some hints for me!

dripple Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Okay, it seems that i was to tired last night. I got everything up and working.

tomnhanni Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hi can you tell us what you did to fix it. I'm having the same setup errors. Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12508-setup-failed-please-retry/#findComment-79481 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dripple Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 For me, it was an problem with the burned DVD's. I have tried 5 DVD, neither works. Then I tried it again using VMWare and this works fine: I installed Mac OS X using VMWare (look at the Genius Board for an detailed instruction) and then I installed a BootLoader to switch between Windows and Mac OS X.

tomnhanni Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I found a solution which might help others. I went to my DVD drives manufacturer website in my case Benq and found a firmware update for my drive. Ran the update and now all DVD isos that previously gave me errors work! :censored2: I was able to finish the installation without any problems. I recommend everyone to try this before the VMWare solution as it really is easier to just use the bootable DVD installer.
