reeve Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 kalyway 10.5.2 you mean? also, what motherboard are you using, IDE or SATA hd and dvd drive? screenshots of the errors(hit F8 at the prompt, and then -v). try booting with "cpus=1 -x -v" and see if that works.

micky01 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 booting with cpus=1 -x -v, worked spot on, now i have a problem which i can't get my head round, everything boots as usual, i select the language, go to disk utill, then i try to erase the partition, set at 190bg using extended journal, , it fails saying there was an uderlying problem?, so i went back to windows, formatted the partition to a fat32 using partition magic 8, went through it all again, get to erase the disk again, this time it says error with the I/O or something, as far as i know the hard disk is a SATA 750gb and it's a dvd ram drive, not sure if that is SATA or IDE, this is a link to my system spec, since i bought it the graphics cards have changed. http://www.cube247.co.uk/?customise=39 thanks mate Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/128943-install-problem/#findComment-920231 Share on other sites More sharing options...

micky01 Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 just tried it again, this time i set the partition to raw, and active, again same problem, after i press erase it say I/O error, then i have just tried to erase the whole drive, same result, is there a way i could install it on an external hard drive on another computer which i know will work, will the boot.ini file recognise the chain string to the external drive?

Hi there, this indicates a number of possible causes, see this thread....... This is what I suggest you do..... 1. Set BIOS settings as follows: BIOS settings in BOLD can Enabled if install to HDD is booting and running OK HDD SMART Monitoing - Disabled ACPI Suspend Type - S3 (STR) ACPI APIC Support -enabled Serial-ATA Controller -enabled RAID Enabled -disabled OnChip IDE Channel0 -enabled IDE DMA transfer access -enabled IDE Prefetch Mode -enabled HD Audio -auto Onboard 1394 -Disabled USB Controller -enabled USB Legacy Support -enabled USB 2.0 Controller -enabled Dual Onboard LAN -Disabled (onboard nvdia lan boot rom disabled) Memory Timing Setting -auto Spread Spectrum Control - Disabled maximises performance, or keep as you had CPU Internal Thermal Control -auto (stops CPU from overheating to permanent damage) Limit CPUID MaxVal -disabled Enhanced C1 (C1E) -disabled Execute Disable Bit -enabled Virtualization Technology - disabled Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology -disabled 2. Re-burn your install DVDs at the slowest speed possible in your burner ≤ x4, e.g. x1 or x2 or nearest speed to these..... 3. Use a PATA (IDE) DVDRW if you are using a SATA DVDRW.....if you do not have a PATA DVDRW....do not worry, I may have an another solution being tested for me at present by another reader......
