Chris Ridenour Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 So I have tried to install the Myz Mac OS10.4.6 on two different PCs. First is a Dell Desktop with 250gb SATA HDD, DVD PATA and DVD-RW PATA, Pentium D (3.0). Will get into installation and only fails during a Installation DVD Check (ignored) and again after the files are copied. I am using Customize and unselecting the AMD options and things I really don't need. I accepted defeat (until I want to try and rewire the drives to see if that helps) and tried on a HP Pavilion DV6000 laptop. Turion X2, 120gb HDD, DVD-RW drive. The only problem that arises so far is that I cannot access my hard drive at all from the installation dvd. It sees absolutely nothing. I have the af partition active, etc but to no avail. Any suggestions? Edit: It does not see my laptop HDD in Disk Utility (the first thing I check after some interesting problems on the desktop) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Ridenour Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 Seems my HDD in the laptop is SATA, should have figured but it never really crossed my mind to check. I'm not giving up on my desktop yet if you have any suggestions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Will get into installation and only fails during a Installation DVD Check (ignored) and again after the files are copied. Reburn the DVD at the slowest speed possible and if available use a different brand of media and/or type of media (dvd-r, dvd+r, dvd-rw, dvd+rw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neonkoala Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Agreed rammjet. The media appears to be corrupt, reburning DVD fixed it for me with those problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Ridenour Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 Reburnt on two different media brands and types and no avail. The dvd check works fine but the installation fails after the copying files attempt. I am using customize with and without SSE3 only. I don't use AMD (I have Intel pentium D). I install only what I need. Pentium D 915 @ 3.0 Ghz. 2gb RAM NVidia 6800 256mb PCI-E Any ideas or do you need more information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Ridenour Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 Starting to think I need to give up, but I really don't want to The problem now is not that the DVD doesn't check out, which it will, but it won't finish installing. Any ideas to what parameters I should start the install with? I have a Myz10.4.6 and a JaS10.4.7 DVD. Hardware specs haven't changed. The HDD is SATA but the install disc still finds it, unlike on my HP dv6000 laptop (is there any patch or anything that will help with that?) I'm willing to try anything, including rewiring the config of my computer if that would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffraff Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Bump this is in reference to your laptop. go into your bios and disable "SATA Native Support" should solve the problem of the disk utility not "seeing" your drive. i also have a dv6000t. i am looking to dual-boot. i am not worried about setting up the dual-boot, but i am concerned about general support... such as graphic card, audio, etc. any ideas? good luck.
