AngeredGeek Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 OK, I burned the disc at full speed, didn't work. Burned at 2x (on a different disc), still doesn't work so where to I go now? My problem is I get to 75% (or there abouts) in the installation and then it fails. I have tried without custimization options and with. And the problem still exists. I really want to get this to work... Is it my computer or me? Can someone offer me a solution?

SamsonT Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 check the installation log to see where the problem is! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/180744-ipc-install-issue-please-help/#findComment-1230684 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngeredGeek Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 check the installation log to see where the problem is! Sometimes now it drops out of the installation completely and displays the log. It says some things about BAD_SOURCE_MEDIA and displays an error saying I should get a new DVD... What should I do now. I've looked it up and it seems on Macs removing dodgy RAM may fix it but I dont think that fix can be used on the iPC distro.

AngeredGeek Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 OK, Now I have another issue, I walked away from my installer and forgot about it when it was installing leopard without any of the customization choices. I figured that it completed but I obviously did not take the DVD out once it had because I wasn't there. When I got back it was waiting on the Darwin boot loader waiting for me to press enter to load the DVD again. So I took the DVD out rebooted and it went straight into Vista. So I loaded up the DVD (again...) and the installer did use up 6.5GB of space so I assume that it either completed or screwed up at the end. The installer seems to have worked better without any custimization choices but when it is installed dont know if it would be runnable without the correct chipset kexts etc. When I again attempted a reinstall I got a brand new shiny error screen The installer logs says "The installer could not write the reciept for "System". I would really appreciate some help.

AngeredGeek Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Bump! It finnaly installed but now it refuses to work. I did all the fdisk commands and guess what vista keeps popping back up. I am running the installation on another HD though...
