nukenorman Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 (edited) Hi, guys I am new to the board. I am having trouble installing OS X so please help me if you can. I have a dell dimension 8200. p4 2.4 ghz 512 rambus ram. 120 gig HD and a 200 gig HD both are IDE. Video card is ati radeon 9550 256 mb. Anyways I downloaded macosx_10.4.3_8f1111_for_dtk_userdvd. I burned it to a dvd and then had it boot up from the dvd drive. Somehow it does not boot up. It was an ISO image to. Even when windows is loaded up I click on the dvd and windows cannot even read the dvd. I dont understand why it wont boot up. Isnt it suppost to boot up? Im stuck Please help Thanks!!

chevy2410 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 You using an old ISO. You should download 10.4.8 Jas reseed install dvd and give it that one a try. Much easier to use. BTW is that cpu support sse2 or see3? Download cpuid and check it out.

nukenorman Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 (edited) even though its old I still want to try to install it since I have it. So this means I wasted a download? Shouldnt it at least boot even if its old? chevy you got instant messenger?

Rammjet Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 If you have SSE2, download the JaS 10.4.7 iso Repack. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35792-mac-os-x-cd-wont-boot/#findComment-254835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukenorman Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 I have 10.4.3 I could not find 10.4.7 so I will have to try to find a jas pack and download it. Also I dont know what a jas pack is and how to incorporate it into the ISO.

chevy2410 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 A quick search on the demon and I found it. Check again it's there. There are lots of seeders so the download should go quick.

Colonel Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 nukenorman, go to demonoid and search for "JaS 10.4.7". In your results you'll find a file named "Mac OS X 10.4.7 AMD/Intel (JaS) ISO Repack". Download that.

nukenorman Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 (edited) I looked on http://www.demonoid.com and they didnt have the updated one. I have dowloaded 3 torrents and none of them with ISO boot up. There is only one 10.4.7 and everyone says its corrupt.

immilki Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 nukenorman: I think you may check your settings in your BIOS so that the system will boot from a DVD drive or you can just press a certain key while starting up (like F10, or F8) to call up the booting menu so that you will be able to choose which device to boot from without a third-party software, windows can't read the files on that DVD Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35792-mac-os-x-cd-wont-boot/#findComment-255573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukenorman Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 I have downloaded 4 Mac os X x86 images. None of them will boot up. I do have my computer set to boot from DVD.
