postaldave Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 i ran into the same problem. there seems to a bug with some of the later ISO with the disk ultility. i found one with "Defiant Disk Utility Patches Applied " that fixed the problem for me. not sure for you. btw:an athlon with 384megs of ram? if you got it to load osX would be hard on those specs.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. you have to use USB external DVDROM to install it IDE DVDROM won't let you boot (or SATA DVDROM seems ok too, but I never try since I don't have one) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44067-compapplebootplist/#findComment-315329 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicha Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 Thanks, I will try a few options soon. I must get an external DVD rom though. Oh well!... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44067-compapplebootplist/#findComment-315553 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItaloRaony Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I´ve downloaded the same image and got the same error when installing. Will I have to get a external dvd-rom drive too? I have a Pentium D 1.7 and Intel MotherBoard. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44067-compapplebootplist/#findComment-315828 Share on other sites More sharing options...

postaldave Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 not sure if this will work but perhaps you could hook up an IDE dvd into a portable USB harddrive case. Is there any other ways than to buy a dvd drive. I got the same issue.
