dingdongbubble Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE failed Disk1s3: unsupported mode load of /sbin/launchd errno 5 Thats the error thing I get when I try to boot my JAS 10.4.8 Semthex DVD. In the verbose mode this error thing turns up. I copied these lines because they are the last ones. I installed Mac once successfulyy but by mistake left it to GUID when I was erasing in the installer. Do you have any idea as to why this is happening and how I can get rid of it? Should I put the drive in master or slave and primary or secondary? I am so frustrated!
