Waxer Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I just downloaded the new JAS .iso DVD for SSE2 & SSE3 CPUs, version 10.4.8, for Intel & AMD. I'm after some help, as I get a disk i/o error when I use disk utility to try to partition the hard drive. It sees my internal drive no problem, and I have had this drive running Windows XP, Ubuntu & OSX86 (10.4.6 I think) no problem. Something seems to have changed, but I don't know what. I haven't messed with OSX86 for about 6 months, but now I'm keen to get it working again. Windows XP is currently on the machine and sees no disk problems. I have used Acronis disk director to analyse the disk, and also Partition magic, and all come back with clean results. I have made no physical changes to the system, and cannot understand why it used top work, but doesn't now. Any help would be great, cheers, Steve.

Bruce Wang Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Could be the disk utility that caused your problem. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=38125 Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxer Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Nah, it's not this problem...I saw this thread before. I tried installing with the same DVD I had previously used that had worked and got this problem, it's definitely the disk drive, although I really can't understand why, as otherwise it's fine...I flashed the BIOS on the laptop just in case there was anything wrong, used various disk tools to format the drive, tried everything...the only thing I haven't tried is a different drive in the machine...

pingudownunder Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I had the same problem with the install routine whinging that I had a Serial-ATA-connected Hard Drive; and that I/O errors occured whatever I tried to do (e.g. repartition, etc). The way I solved it was to take the HDD out of the D6000, put it into an external HDD enclosure and connect via USB. Installed perfectly then with no issues.
