fandel Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Panda please don't SPAM the forum, you cannot create a thread for everyone of your little problems... you can just keep requesting help from the same one... just make sure to bumped the thread every once in a while if you are not getting help. I suggest downloading another different copy of the patched OS X DVD. This happens to people and they just try it another way... not the same way over and over again. Also make sure to use the "Search" feature on this forum and post your findings it's better to say you have read the similar problems that people had and fixed but you still have the same problem than actually just saying help again now I got this other screen. Like I said.. try it with another DVD and then let us know how it goes.

fandel Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 According to some people it's caused because it can't recognize the DVD drive you are using... so please tell us what type of system you are using, the more specific the better people can answer your questions. People have gone around that problem by installing it with the vmware image from windows (or so I read).
