blackjer Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I get to 4 minutes left, and it just sits there. I can still move mouse, and it seems that the dvd is spinning in the drive. However, the light on the drive isnt active. This is a retail copy of 10.5.6 that i burned to a disc. Before the install i did the disc check and it completed without error. Im burning another copy now at 1x to see if it fixes the issue. Does anyone have any other ideas?

blackjer Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 After several more attempts, its the same problem. I have noticed that the error actually occurs with "11 minutes remaining". If i move the mouse, it jumps to "4 min. remaining" and stays there. My DVD drive then become despondent. It will not eject. In fact, even after rebooting it will not eject. I have to power off and restart to get my drive working now. It is an LG SATA DVD drive.

hathiphnath Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Try removing some of the RAM. I got past that point when I dropped the RAM to 1GB.
