smakdown61 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Ok, I got the 10.4.3 which I converted to ISO, patched with the iso patch, and had my friend burn the image using disk utils on his powerbook. For some reason, my ibm pc can't read the dvd in windows, nor during bootup, yet its readable on my friends powerbook. Do i need to burn the image file using a pc in order for it to be readable on pc?

technolion Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 You can also mount the ISO with daemon tools, use VMWare with a physical drive, and install this way.

R. Bear Helms Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I burned a DVD, but it definitely can work as a virtual DVD-ROM with VMware. The emulated system under VMware has a BIOS and I don't know if by default it knows to look for a boot DVD. I think you need to press ESC the second the VMware emulation starts and play with the VMware BIOS first.

smakdown61 Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Wait, i can use vmware as a virtual drive even though im doing a native install on a fresh hd partition? Can you elaborate with steps please, thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9755-problem-with-reading-1043-dvd/#findComment-60999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Bear Helms Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 The elaboration is in the OSx86 Project Wiki, listed somewhere on the page regarding "Installation" is one specific to VMware. You configure the emulated PC so that one or more drives are NOT virtual, but persistent, physical units. Therefore when it goes to install to that drive, it's actually doing the real thing and ultimately you should be able to boot it.

jbjonas Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Well, if you burned your DVD correctly, your XP system should not recognize it since it is not in PC format. (I think) More to the problem, however, is that you can't boot the DVD in your DVD-ROM. 1- Are you sure your DVD-Rom can read the type of DVD you burned? ie -R, +R, (I would stay away from +or-RW). I know that my older DVD-Rom drive can't read anything but +R, while my DVD burner can obviously read anything. All drives are different. You can try searching the manufacturers site - an easier option if you have NERO, is to run the utility called NeroDriveInfo (I think thats it) and it will tell you the specs that your drive can handle. 2- Did you check the md5 sums of your .dmg, the patch, the .iso, and the patched .iso before you burned it? And how did you get it onto your friends PC to burn it? any error, however small, will give you a 'coaster'. So it is very possible that you have a bad install DVD.

smakdown61 Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 I used nero tools to see my drive info and under supported formats it doesn't have dvd+r checked! (i used a +r to burn it). Thats interesting considering i've played burned movies on the same type of dvd fine...i guess software is different? Also how do i check the md5 sum?

R. Bear Helms Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 System software is touchy. But usually about a bad bit or byte, which when it happens in a movie, is gone in 1/30th of a second, so you tend to not notice that. This is why the MD5 checksums appear in the patch documentation. If any of those are wrong, most importantly what the patched install DVD is supposed to have, then all bets are off.

jbjonas Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 does the Nero tool say that it can read any other DVD media? like -R? I doubt you watched a burned DVD on it in a format it can't read... Maybe the movie was on VCD? Anyway, you should definitely check the md5 sums. you'll need a simple md5 summer (try google- they're free) and the .iso that you burned to DVD. If that one checks out right, you should be fine... But if you had to transfer the entire .iso to your friends PC from yours, after patching and before burning, it is very possible that one or more bits got displaced in that transfer You should be able to find the correct md5 sums in the readme that JaS included with his package. Also, I have seen lists of the md5 sums for that particular DVD all over this forum.

smakdown61 Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 according to nero my drive can read dvd-r, dvd-rw, dvd-ram, and dvd-rom. yet i have played both burned dvd movies, and been able to browse data dvds (in file tree format) both burned on +r. hmmm, i guess ill try dvd-r, and try and figure out how to use this md5 sum thing.

jbjonas Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 you can also see if your drive manufacturer offers a firmware update that supports more media. This often happens with burners, ie an update to burn -RW or to burn -RW at 4x instead of 2x. Perhaps the same is true for your DVD-Rom? I would still bet that the problem lies with a corrupted disk burned from an iso with the wrong checksum though...

smakdown61 Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 i got an md5 sum of 402d0ddd3babbe76df3e1ce63182ed0c for my patched 10.4.3 1099 build iso. Is that what it should be?

smakdown61 Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 i used the latest maxxuss 1.1 dvd/iso patch Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9755-problem-with-reading-1043-dvd/#findComment-61773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbjonas Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Maxxuss lists some md5 sums on his mirrors (in the Section for patching build 1099) The MD5 (output of md5sum) of my DMG image file is: daf72f000bd860360ae494d915058af6 ("10.4.3_8f1099_for_dtk_userdvd.dmg").The MD5 of my ISO image file is: e7d86fefb4b5155890addbf7fae19398 (If yours differ, you still may give it a try as the patcher does not validate and would proceed even in case of different binaries). However, the sum you posted is for the patched iso. Maxxuss lists the md5 for the pre-patched iso, probably because different hardware requires different patches, and gives different checksum. If you continue to have problems, I would suggest downloading the 8F1111 build .dmg, and working with the JaS 4.2b patch (which is more universal, and definitely has published md5 sums.) The following will help you find the downloads, and lists the checksums; the two in bold, you need to download, and the other two you will create from them (check sums at all 4 stages!) MD5 sums e050e4b547e048fde5ea2d7f175baa90 * JaS.1111a.Generic.Patch.V4.2b.ppf 3665735d1b651b5a4ad15ca59ab40142 * macosx_10.4.3_8f1111_for_dtk_userdvd.dmg f086fa1cdd01013c9787dfd1e92c2078 *macosx_10.4.3_8f1111_for_dtk_userdvdunpatched.iso 16139ae55ac283c114a5231f85c3f54c *macosx_10.4.3_8f1111_for_dtk_userdvdpatched.iso Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9755-problem-with-reading-1043-dvd/#findComment-61781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
smakdown61 Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 Well i found a torrent for the 8f1111 verison already patched .iso that alot of people seemed to have commented on that works, except the checksum i got was 9ad81f7774d4efaec68a860646fd0784 which doesn't match your patched .iso sum. Oh well, i guess i'll give it a shot anyway. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9755-problem-with-reading-1043-dvd/#findComment-63003 Share on other sites More sharing options...
