Voivode Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I am trying to install OS X Snow Leopard on my laptop (HP Pavilion dv9930us but when I look in system info it says dv9700) and keep getting this error message SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE Failed, SENSE_KEY = 0x05, ASC =0x21, ASCQ = 0x00 disk2s3: I/O error. it repeats over and over again and then finally stops and says Waiting for DSMOS... if some one could help me out and point me in the next direction that would be much appreciated as it has taken me a while to get this far and I feel like I am almost there. Currently I am using Empire EFI v1.08 to help me get the computer to recognize the install dvd that I made from an image I found online. System info: (Processor) Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 (Graphics) Nvidia Geforce 8600M GS (RAM) Hyundi Electronics Part#: HYMP125S64CP8-Y5 (two 2GB sticks) (CD/DVD) TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632N ATA Device (Hard Drive) FUJITSU MHZ2320BH G@ ATA Device (MitherBoard) Quanta Model#: 30CB 79.2E Chipset: Intel PM965 Southbridge: Intel 82801HBM (ICH8-ME) BIOS: HP Phoenix (and very limited controls) I hope this is enough info to explain what is going on if not feel free to as for more Thanks a lot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/206068-sam-multimedia-read-or-write-failed-sense_key-0x05-asc-0x21-ascq-0x00/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
