Dainix Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Try DVD-R. I helped install OSx86 on a friend's notebook, and it got as far as you guys did with DVD-RWs. Burning a DVD-R did the trick. DVD-RWs, to me, read much slower in a DVD drive, probably because they can be rewritten again. You'll notice that running them from a DVD-R cuts installation time in half as well.

boinkytwo Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 it doesnt matter what kind of dvd media you use, youll get the same error over and over again since the file you were burning is a bad one. meaning the whole iso is defective. you were just duplicating a defective dvd image. you know, dowloading a giga file from a torrent may encounter errors along the way , whille it is being downloaded. a suddent computer crash/hungup or hard reset may cause an error to the iso that it is being downloaded. also if you just close and exit your bt client while downloading a file may cause some errors too. you must use the pause function if you plan to interrupt the download. also, always do a hash check everytime you resume downloading. the main advantage of using a dvd-rw is that you wont be wasting so much dvd media in case you encounter some error from the written data. if that is the case, then youll have the chance of erasing it. ive encountered this problem before, and ive wasted a lot of dvd media too. until i decided to re-download the dvd image, burn it again using RW, and then got it installed flawlessly. and from then on, i copied the dvd-rw to a dvd-r as my final copy to use. now, i got 2 working copies of osx86. JaS 10.4.8 and Uphuck 10.4.9, both are installed perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harper05 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 ok i ´ve tested to install it directly to hard disk using vmware --> HFS+ partition error when startup any idea?^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boinkytwo Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 double check your virtual machine's hard disk settings, it shoud be on an ide. also remove the line scsi in your virtual machine's .vmx file. you can open it using a txt editor. also under advance mode of hard disk setup, set your hdd to independent persistent or you may try boot you vmware installation natively. just make your osx partition active and primary. you may do this with my bootcd, located in my simple dual boot guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harper05 Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 yes boinkytwo you´re right i want to boot natively my with vmware directly on a hdd installed os btw i´ve choosen only access to one partition is that a problem? ok i´ve set the hdd to AF and so on now the installation can boot.... until the apple loading screen where it stucks (waiting 2 hours) with -v there are a lot of l/O errors i´ve installed macos with only activated amd driver and tested the whole thing with my onboard gpu too (unplugged my 7600gs) in the vm machine the system has started correctly so i don´t know why it doesn´t work now please help me and sorry for my bad englisch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boinkytwo Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 im barely getting it. in order for you to dual boot, you shall have at least 3 partitions. first partition is for windows, second partition is for osx, third partition for your data. when you configure vmware, you must install osx on a real partition not on a virtual one. in this scenario, you'll have the chance to boot your osx natively. does the IO error thing also appears under vmware? or it only does if you boot osx natively? please post any images you can capture so others may help you.

Harper05 Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 the first time i booted in vmware everything worked fine after reboot i couldn´t get to windows because macos had overwrited the start files(i don´t want dual boot it was only for vmware, i know that isn´t the best solution ) anyway many thanks for your help till now heres the picture (right after mounting file system the I/O error too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boinkytwo Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 it seems like you've installed osx over the windows partition, which is the first partition. that is why you cant boot windows and also your osx installation got messed up. when you mention about "native install", it means that you install osx directly to to hard drive, without having to use vmware. when you mention about native boot, you intend to boot the os without having to use vmware (no host os), it means you boot from the osx partition directly when you want to install it using vmware, you intend to install it in a virtual hard disk or another physical partition, which is different from where windows was installed. I think you should start from a clean hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harper05 Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 didn´t overwrite anything^^ little explanation HDD: first partition 7gig primary boot mac os second partition 12 gig logical windows so i´ve only overwrited the start files of windows anyway i´ll give it a try and reinstall erverything clean my plan: first partition windows second mac os installed by vmware (without i got this crappy error -.-) btw boinkytow are you german? i´m too^^ later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boinkytwo Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 no im not, im asian. why wouldnt you try to install osx natively? it runs a lot faster than under vmware. anyhow, good luck! if you need any help reach me through yahoo messenger. im using the same name.

Harper05 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 you´re right but install natively didn´t work for me (after BSD install error) anyway i´ve installed mac os with vmware natively on a real existing hdd, no errors in the vm i rebooted serveral times to check if everything works (no problems) then i rebooted my real machine to check the installation i saw the grey screen then shortly the starting screen (blue and white) and then a black screen with the console asking me for login so the GUI didnt´t start i´ll posting a picture of the "-v" start later mayby you have an idea how to fix this finally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
