How do you cancel an OSX install


2 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

I'm currently trying to install OSX v10.4 and CD 1 worked fine, 2 worked OK also but half way through 3 it asks for me to put 2 back in, it loads up asks for 3 them fails again and asks for 2 - it just keeps doing this in a circle. I also have it on a DVD so was wondering if there's a way to cancel the install, it won't shut down but I unplugged it and when it restarted it asked for two and ejects the DVD.

I ran into the same problem a while ago, I would recommend starting from scratch, just reformat your HD and start with a clean install and see if that helps - worked for me!
