L1SE19 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 i keep getting an error everytime i try to install leopard onto my white macbook. Currently my macbook has nothing on it at all, completely wiped, no OS at all. the error i keep getting is something along the lines of "failed to verify the essentials package" i read up and apparently this is a ram problem so.. First off i tried leopard with the default factory two 1gb sticks of ram. I then tried changing the ram to a 1gb stick from another laptop with no problems. i then tried changing to two 2gb sticks from a brand new laptop with no problems. yet i still get teh same error. lastly i tried downloading and installing Snow Leopard. I now get thsi error, reading from /System/Installation/Packages/BaseSystem.pkg: Input/output errorerror processing data: Input/output error Retrying file://localhost/System/Installation/Packages/basesystem.pkg: after 3 failures Failed to retrieve file://localhost/system/installation/packages/basesystem.pkg (Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=5 User Info=0x1072c2ca0 "The operation couldn't be completed.
