muitommy Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 try to use one sata drive and one sata writer only, ide rom is better if you have it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert_sn Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 what do you exactly mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muitommy Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 i mean you should try a IDE DVDROM/WRITER as the compatibility is better, and try to connect only one Hardisk during installations, and make sure your sata disk is set to legacy IDE mode (in the bios) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~pcwiz Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I believe you get that error when you make a Leopard partition with a volume name that has a space in it. Go back to disk utility and give your Leopard volume a 1 word no space name (e.g. OSX, or Leopard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
