blackfrancis75 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Hello, I had exactly the same issue with Brazilmac patched DVD. I was told to try restoring the image to a partition first, as shown here (Installation Method 2): http://forum.osx86scene.com/viewtopic.php?...p;sk=t&sd=a Please reply and tell us if this works for you.
