mrkleen340 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Ok so I had my laptop running OSX via iAtkos v2, however with lack of internet I decided to grow my linux partition and get rid of it. But reccently i've had an urge to get osx back. So I downloaded and verifived the MD5 of iAtkos v7 and burned it at the slowest rate my burner had (2.4 I beleive). It runs through verbose mode yelling about my firewire but the old install did too though so I wasn't worried. Then the GUI started to load and I was presented with an popup box telling me the installer failed and that I can shutdown, restart, view log, or save log. If I had the ability to post the log I would, but is this a bad disk or bad hardware? I have tried this now on three PCs and end up in the same popup box so I started to question the disk... any ideas? p.s. I can access the disk utility, password reset, and basically everything but the installer. -Thanks, and I'd be happy to answer any questions needed to figure this out.

NrgDfenZ Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I had this problem too. I thought it was just my hardware that was incompatible, so it might be the same with you. I can boot other OSx86 versions, so maybe you should try another one too.

Lloyd Owen Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Ok Fella, Your problem is most probably your disc as 3 computers done the exact same thing, i wouldn't mind taking a look at that log if you could take pictures or a video or anything easiest to you Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/204193-iatkos-v7-installer-dosnt-have-installer/#findComment-1372329 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarhead2998 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Try disabling your firewire/1394 port in this bios. And i recommend iPCx86's installer. It was the only one that worked for me and had more kexts available on the disk than any other installer that i have used. I never had any luck with iAtkos.
