Hello experts :)

 

I have a problem when I try to install mac os x 10.4.6

 

I have a DVD, but when I try to install gives me the following error:

 

SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE failed, ASC = 0x30, ASCQ = 0x02

 

and then keeps displaying

 

still waiting for root device

 

I have an XPS Gen 4 Computer

 

with Intel 3.4 Ghtz

SATA Hard drive

1Gb ram

Nvidia 6800 256 MB

 

 

any suggestions???

 

thanks a Lot

SAM Multimedia means that the system is having trouble reading the DVD.

 

You need to reburn the DVD at the slowest speed possible. If available, use a different brand or different type (dvd-r, dvd+r, dvd-rw, dvd+rw) of media.

 

If that fails, then see if you can update the firmware of your optical drive.

Be sure to burn large files at a slow speed (like 2x) to advoid errs and use media like DVD-R or DVD-RW
