Thanx. This message does not mention which version of OS X you are trying to install. If you are trying to install 10.2 there are a couple things to make note of. For 10.2 Jaguar to install on a machine with an external SCSI port it is often necessary to ensure that the external SCSI is terminated. That is most easily accomplished by simply attaching a properly terminated device to the port. Also generally Jaguar is not fooled by ATA controllers that are masquerading as SCSI. For Old World machines that means you must follow the 8 gig partition rules for installing OS X even if your ATA controller is pretending to be SCSI. The 8 gig rule does not apply to a true SCSI drive. bill -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
