Timmy10 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Hi there! Finally got my second harddrive but I can't even boot the installation DVD. I'm using a xXx distro for 10.5.6. My setup is: Q6600 Asus Commando 7600GT WD 160gb sata drive I made a picture with my iPhone, see attachment. Is this just a bios settings wich is wrong, or maybe the small overclock on my RAM? Who can halp me out? Thanx! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/159540-read-or-write-failed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who can halp me out? Thanx! It could be a bad media and/or bad burn......burn at ≤ x4.......or if you have a SATA DVDRW it could be a device recognition issue......

ahl395 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 The same is happening to me. Although, in my case it is weirder... Ive used this disk several times, and it worked 100%. All of a sudden its doing this READ Write error thing. Ive burned it twice already, same result.

Timmy10 Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 Wow thanx for the reactions! @verdant, I used it before (diffrent MOBO, same parts) and then it booted. I use a IDE dvd drive. Maybe some scratches on the disk? @ahl395, broken .ISO?
