escii Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Hi! I just downloaded 10.4.6 JaS from bit torrent and it keeps crashing saying "SAM Multimedia: Read or Write failed". I had a look around at older topics and they said it could be because of a bad DVD but i'm using a iso image in vmware! Any help would be much apreciated, thanks.

Rammjet Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Are you reading straight from the iso or are you reading from a virtual disk created by mounting the iso?

Rammjet Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 So try mounting the iso. I believe VMWare has some tool to do it or Daemon Tools or some other app. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/29396-sammultimedia-error-vmware/#findComment-202477 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 You have to go into Disk Utility in the Utilities menu and format the disk as MacOS Extended Journaled. Later in the installation, when you are asked to click the Install button, you must first click the Customize button and select packages for your computer. Click the little arrow in front of the patches category to reveal the individual packages. Select Intel or AMD, not both. Select SSE2 or SSE3, not both, depending upon the capability of your processor. Select the Combo Update to get the latest OSX version. Select other packages only if your computer can use them.
