flibblesan Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Why are you using a USB drive? Most people using a USB DVD drive to install end up having problems. Why not just use an internal DVD drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SticMAC™ Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 99% this might be your problem¨ When you did your DVd you made it on a Pc or burning software that only saw the ISO side of the DVD! hence it boots but can't find the HFS partition! If done on a PC you need something like MagicISO, PowerISO to combine these two partitions and write the on a DVD the it will boot from the ISO and the boot file will refer to the HFS partition and VIOLA! it works!!
