Sapam Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Try this out. Use Clone DVD to write the iso at 1X speed. I had almost the same issue of installation failing and after Hitting My Head all over the place for 2 days i tried this and it worked.

Sapam Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I tried writing at 8X and for some reason the installation keep failing... I wasted 3 DVDs doing that. Then I wrote at 1X.... and it worked. I still have to figure out the reason...

Sapam Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 It must be having an option to write to disk from an iso file already on your hard drive. Don't use your current DVD which as OSX86, use the iso file on your hard drive.You can try some older version of CloneDVD ( like version 2.x.x.x ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58753-osx86-1048-installation-problem-please-help/#findComment-419071 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapam Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I can't guarantee about nero or roxie. try searching for "clone dvd 2.9.0.1" it is there on the net... you can try torrent too.

Sapam Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Use "Write Existing Data" and choose the ISO file on your Hard Drive and write it to the DVD at 1X speed Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58753-osx86-1048-installation-problem-please-help/#findComment-419091 Share on other sites More sharing options...

x986123 Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 It says errors acured during installation process. Please try Again and it gives reboot option!!!

Sapam Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I also got the almost same reboot message after the Installation fail message. I didn't do any changes other than rewriting the DVD at 1X. Try out disabling your dual core in bios ( aka make it single core ). Also, as u using SATA HDD, can u try using ATA HDD, i think there is some issue with SATA during Install. good luck, friend!!!

Sapam Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 If you have an ATA around... that would be a good idea, buying is no..good. I think some people are working on the installation on SATA... like changing something in the bios for SATA... i can't exactly remember what but... if you search the forum i guess you can find it...

Sapam Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 To make it primary you will need to put a jumper at the back near where IDE cable connects to your HDD. You can find the jumper setting diagram on the HDD itself.
