Rammjet Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Once you get into the installer, the first thing you must do is go to the Utilities menu and select Disk Utility so you can format your OSX partition. Select the partition on the left and click on the Erase tab on the right. Give the partition a name, be sure it is set to MacOS Extended Journaled and then click the Erase button. Quit Disk Utility and your partition should show up in the installer window. When you get to the window where you are to click the Install button, first click the Customize button and choose packages for your computer. Click the little arrow next to the patches category to reveal the individual packages. Select Intel or AMD packages, not both. Select SSE2 or SSE3, not both, depending upon the capability of your processor. Select the Combo Update to get the latest version of OSX. Select other packages only if you know your computer can use them. 10.4.6: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...ost&id=4249 10.4.7: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...ost&id=4499 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Try formating the partition for OSX as FAT32 in Windows. Then try the installation again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
