JesterDev Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Maybe I read wrong, but it might be your DVD drive. My laptop's drive will stop responding after a short while and I had to use an external USB drive. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicolli Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 Thats what i was thinking so i got a memorex external DVDRW thinking i could boot off it. still no go! Also the jas 10.4.8 that i burned seem to only have 8 files in the ISO....(I used magic iso and iso buster to check this) should i have more files in the ISO? Thanks!! Also, thank you JesterDev for your reply!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesterDev Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Only a few files seem to show up on the DVD. I rest I suppose can't be seen via windows. When you burned with Nero did you check off "Verify Written Data" ? In any case I kept having this same problem with my laptop. I just tried over and over again till it worked. I've had the most success with the uphuck version 1.2 iso. Just search for "uphuck" on your torrent site of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicolli Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 HI! Well i just burned the jaS 10.4.8 @ 1x speed with ingBURN and will try it out agin. I will be downloading the upchuck 1.3 iso BUT, do you think v1.2 is working better? Do ya know if anyone has installed the OSx86 using a mac to a portable HD then using a backup and restore prog. on that drive. then doing a restore to the target drive on the PC? it sounds like it my work!?! any imput????? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesterDev Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I have not tried v1.3 yet. I seem to have nothing but trouble with uphuck. As far as the latter goes I don't think it will work as I believe it's installed based on your hardware. But then again you never know. Keep me posted!
