hypermog Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I am trying to install JaS OS 10.4.8 AMD Intel SSE2 SSe3 on a Compaq Presario SR1850NX. The processor in this machine is an AMD Athlon 3700+ (san diego core) which supports SSE3. This machine comes stocked with a SATA 1 (1.5Gbit/s) drive which I gather does not play nicely with OSX. I therefore have purchased a new hitachi deskstar (ATA133) which is set to master via jumpers and is connected to the IDE 1 port of the motherboard. Computer specifications are here Motherboard specifications are here. These are the steps I take during the install: When I get to this menu I select Disk Utility: [full size] Then I partition the drive (MacOS is the name from a previous failed attempt) [full size] I select '1 partition', the hit 'partition' and allow it to erase the drive: [full size] Back in the installer I choose the newly partitioned/formatted drive: [full size] I choose these options: [full size] Then hit install. Within about 15 seconds, the install aborts. The error log shows: [full size] "Install failed: some files for BaseSystem may not have been written correctly." Can anyone help me with this? I can provide more information if necessary.

Forceman Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Maybe your ISO got corrupted or DVD disk? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/46163-trouble-installing-jas-1048-amd-on-athlon-3700-san-diego/#findComment-330521 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypermog Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 Maybe your ISO got corrupted or DVD disk? I burned it at 1x with the burn and verify setting, and I allowed it to scan the disc during the install, but I will try downloading and burning from another computer. However, I was also getting this error when trying the Jas 10.4.7 installer so I think it has to do with my system.

hypermog Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 I finally go this working. I had to put the deskstar inside a USB shell, install OSX to it, then put it back on the IDE slot. Even then, the Disk Utility has a hard time with this hardware configuration, and it takes many attempts to partition the drive correctly. I received a 'you do not have the rights to perform this operation' message or some such several times, and I would have to partition the drive to Mac OSX Case-Sensitive (Journaled), MS-DOS, and THEN to Mac OSX Journaled in order for it to install correctly.
