Is there a such thing as writing to a disk too slow? I initially wrote the leopard 10.5.2 disc at 16x and that one totally didnt work. then i worte it at 1x to make sure everything was written correctly to the disc. now i get the following…

Zephyroth's Leopard 10.5.1 DVD is the only one that seems to load up the installation process for me. so I'm trying to stick with this and get it to work... Whenever i try to partition/erase my disk or any partition, it tells me that there…

I have an all SATA hook up on my pc. so i was thinking of buying an external USB drive today. So i can test this out, and its something i could really use outside of OS X. So... do anyone have any suggestions on what type or brand that i…

“the checksum is correct and im going to guess it IS just the kext. I'm going to try and use the one from 10.5.1 and see if this helps with my initial issue of it giving me that "SAM media read or write failed" message. Where are they locate…”

“I've burned this iso 5 times. using different brands (HP, Verbatim & Memorex) and they all give me the same message. I've tried using different programs to write the image to the disc also (ImgBurn, TransMac & Nero). same issue. [cite] Tank…”

“well no, you see. the AppleNforceATA is what is stopping us from even getting to an installer where we can make those selections. when the system is booting up to get to the installation program it stops and gives the errors stated in my in…”

“Sounds like the same but what i found my issue was, was that i had burned the disc at 16x, i reburned at 1x and it loaded fine, as far as getting through that loop, though im still having problems, but atleast that got me over the first hur…”

“I was thinking is there something in 10.5.1 that is allowing me to get to the installation screen that is missing in 10.5.2 DVD?”

“I've tried that DVD and it wont even get me to the installation screens. it just reboots my computer soon as it starts loading. i think the last thing it says is "starting Darwin x86". you know when it changes resolutions and starts printin…”

“cool, im going to try that thanks. [cite] kael:If you can not use IDE,you can try to download Tiger 10.4.9 v3 by uphuck team,it is universal one fit AMD and Intel and the disk utility of it may solve your problem.”

“scratch that last post. i reburned it at 1x write speed and it gets pasted that screen, now im just having other issues i'll see if i can work with. FYI, initially i burned it at 16x, knowing that it could possibly cause issues, my bad.”

“Same thing happens on my system also. I've tried all kinds of flags and it just seem to not work. 10.5.1 install starts up fine. this one wont get past the first 5 secs of booting. i did a -v flag and as i dont remember exactly what it says…”

“lol what the fuck ever. i dont even know anything about kexts, im guessing they are like device drivers. but more important because the whole OS will not work if it dont have the right kext for your hardware.”

“Yea sounds like a good idea, but im just scared that once i spend all this time gettin over this hurdle. I'm going to still end up with a disk utility screen that wont let me edit my hard disk. due to an Input/output error just like in 10.5…”

“Exact same position im in right now. i thought this was going to make it be able to install on sata drives.”

“Did you try reburning the iso at a lower speed?”

“no one can help you with out your system specs.”
