richtig Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I've had success booting with the ToH RC2 DVD. Note: required HD preparation using the EFI v80 installer, before the Leopard install. My only experience with BrazilMac was with someone's torrent of an already patched iso, which would not boot on my machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaugus Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 No sure if you have tried "PowerISO" on a windows PC as that does the job for me with all these ISO's, also in your BIOS just double check that you have the optical drive to boot before the hard disk (although, you should be able to press a key at the POST like TAB, F10 something like that all motherboards are different) I dont think its any issues with the brand of media that your using since your using decent dvds anyway, depending on your drive maybe try burning a little slower?

qbattersby Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I burned my BrazilMac in Tiger on my Hack. No issues, and it shouldn't make a difference on which system you burn it on. Seems as if this may be a hardware problem, have you checked to see if your hardware is compatible, most specifically your motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolkiwikat Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 Details of my Rig is in my Sig already, DVD 1st boot device(Other Installs boot thru except this one), the discs ive made mount on my mac....but dont boot thru via PC or my laptop....maybe the script I used is corrupt? Im hoping I dont have to dlow another 6 or 7GB Pre Patched version as the leopard I have already is a retail DMG and I upgraded my mac with it Im hoping someone out there has some clues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIRTUAL X Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I have a full blown Leopard DVD install and tried to created a patched image but the image once burned to dvd wouldn't boot!! What did you guys to do fix this? Thank you!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolkiwikat Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 Ok...for me this is what worked: Brazilmacs instructions stated that you enter sudo -s, then password....cd desktop etc then run the script.... I then thought it was patching the disc correctly....there were binding errors etc....and the discs I made mounted in my mac....thought I was doing it all ok..... I was wrong..... You need to have a password on your account You need to enter your pass...I did but was stuck on the "bash-3.2#" that popped up in terminal when I entered my pass...I thought I made a mistake as when you do the sudo -s command then dont enter a pass....it looks correct still so I made all my burns incorrectly! bash-3.2# is ok!!!! after you enter your password into terminal, bash-3.2# will show in terminal.....then drag and drop the patch on to the terminal window!!! and let it run!!! Thats it! My iso burns and boots! I made my discs in Imac running Leopard....using toast! Now Im trying to fix my reboot error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
