rerven Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 It's because of your sata hd.. I got a SATA DVD RW, i tried to install os x with it, but it sopped continuing installing.. as a result, the same problem as you described. I then installed os x with my IDE DVD ROM, no problems at all. So I guess it's because of SATA drive. You should try another IDE DVD ROM to continue installing.
