Tempted Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 So heres my problem. I get all the way through the boot process with no issues.. No extra boot options.. Nothing. Just stick DVD in and it boots. I get all the options that I want selected and get ready to install customize the settings for my computer. When it begins to install it gets to Validating Disk. Then it stops with an error that says Unable to verify disk, Please remove disk clean carefully and try again. Well I've burned it 3-4 times on varying speeds with varying downloads. Ive tried getting the Brazilmac version to work but it has a kernel panic the instant that the apple screen pops up. The Kalyway cd goes until the install. I have tried different torrents with the Kalyway disk image and every one seems to give me the same issue. Any help? OS: All bootable from Vista boot loader with EasyBCD Windows Vista Windows XP Mac OS X 10.4.6 System: MSI VIA P4M9003 Intel Pentium D 925 2gb Corsair Reaper Dual Channel Logitech G15 Gaming keyboard Logitech G5 Gaming Mouse SATA: Max tor 200gb/ Maxtor 320gb ATA: Toshiba DVD drive / Maxtor 40gb ATA 100 Video: Geforce 8500GT 256mb I'm trying to install on the ATA100 drive... It will install OS X 10.4.6 fine without my keyboard and mouse. Any help would be appreciated. I'm willing to download another disk image if need be.. If someone would let me know what I need to do or which one they downloaded that would be great. Thanks, Tempted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kstephens98 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Did you try skipping the disk validation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempted Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Ive tried to click skip. It opens the validation window and then it stops and says invalid disk. There was no way to skip it. Ive tried for the past few days heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempted Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Anyone? This is becoming a pain... is it because im using an ATA dvd drive? if thats the case i think im screwed... If someone would tell me which install they used that would be awesome.. I used the Kaliway ISO you can download from a certain torrent site.. I also tried the Zip version.. both came out with the exact same Md5 hash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=-Devin-= Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I used an ATA Drive once (I believe it was ATA..) with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempted Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Idont understand.. There are no errors while booting into the cd.. it just cant validate it. I tried again and ended up snapping one of my copys in half because i was so agrivated... tried brazilmac copy with -v -legacy cpus=1 and it still panics... Also tried Kalyway with -v -legacy cpus=1 and same problem... Sigh.. I'm about to give up on this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone Shoe Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I have had bad luck burning OSX disks at the full speed of my DVD burner. My suggestion would be to change the write speed to the lowest available for your burner (probably will be 2x or 4x). It will take a long time to burn but you should get a usable CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempted Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 Any suggestions on which torrent client I should use to download it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kstephens98 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Just to make sure, you are using the disk util to erase a fat32 partion to MAC OS Journaled prior to actually installing Leo, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
