Thankyou for responce

If i was a user and I didnt know it was SB400 and I had SB600 I probably wouldnt have bothered. Now I know what needs to be fixed for next release. I appreciate the response.

Thanx

what software are you using to burn. Look for options verify after burning. How old is your dvdv writer it may be burning fine but reading badly. Do you smoke (I do)? Its the worst thing you can do near an optical drive (tar on lens).

hahaha
no, i dont smoke, its the worst thing you can do (not only near an optical drive)
first time i use nero 7, and then brasero, with both i got the same result...
may this be a hdd problem?? mmm i'm gonna try to get another dvd drive to test...

about the age of the writer... dont know exactly, but it can burn double layer dvds, so it's not so old

@everyone

if you have an unsucessfull install please post your install log.

I have one here infront of me and they are very revealing

@Waiflih

Why doesnt you install work???

well according to your log your have no idea at all how to install OSX this is not an attack but you should read a little on how to do it. Try the OSX86 wiki.

Your problems are
I dont beleieve you have run disk utility to prepare the hardrive or you have specifically told it to partition and format as Fat32 (i beleive this is why permissions fail)

2nd you have selected everything selectable to install every graphics card driver, every soundcard driver, every chipset driver etc.

This does not run like a windows install it is far smarter than that and you have some control.

I really appreciate the fact you sent the log. Now you have an answer and I'm not just guessing.

p.s. according to the date of log file April 1976 you need to change date in bios as this can have effects not 100% with MacOSX but I know it can effect other software

Thanx

i just select all the options to see a complete log...

so, fat32 doesn't work?? xD

the disk utility fails to set the partition as mac fs, but when it is in fat32 allows me to continue the install....

it there another program to format the partition ??

and thanx for all, i know a lot of linux and windows, but in this i'm almost a total newbie ^^

perhaps its how the drive was pepared in the first place is it a name brand system thats used some utility to prevent partition change????

If so use some drive tools form manufacturer eg seagate tools etc to wipe drive first. Then Osx should deal with it first
