my system. The installation makes it through the first disc without problems. When prompted to insert the second disc, I put the mac os x install disc 2 download disc in the drive and it sounds like the drive is trying to read it but the disc is ejected after awhile leaving the same prompt window. I've tried to boot up in safe mode but my system reverts back to the same prompt saying to insert the second disc, which i do with the same result. Any idea on how I can bypass this and maybe start the installation process over again?

Boot from your install disc. Run the Disk Utility app to verify and if necessary, repair any errors.Insert your install disk (1) and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel. Select First Aid in the Main panel. (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)Click Repair Disk on the bottom right. If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart. If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired. When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.Select your start up disk and click RestartWhile you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*Carolyn Helpful (0) Reply options Link to this post by a

I am trying to do a clean install on my Macbook having had a few unresolvable problems and all went well until I had to put in the 2nd installation disk. It came up with the message "An error occurred while installing Mac X. Click continue for details." I click continue and then get this message: "Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer. The Installer could not locate the data it need to install the software. Check your internet connection and try again or contact manufacturer for assistance. Click Restart and try again." Well I've tried several times, changed disks but all to no avail. Cleaned the disks but no apparent scratches! I did have Lion installed and my disks were the previous version, Snow Leopard. I have all my disks. Any thoughts please? Thanks. Reply With Quote 08-15-2013,10:15 AM #2 bobtomay View Profile View Forum Posts Member Since Dec 22, 2006 Location Texas, where else?

Why Tiger Instead of Leopard? Obtaining an Installer DVD Copies and CD-Only Macs Why Tiger Instead of Leopard? As Apple refines Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and moves closer to the release of 10.6 Snow Leopard, the 10.4 Tiger version of OS X seems destined to fade into computing history. However there are many compelling and unique features in Tiger that make it an ideal or necessary OS on some Macs. On PowerPC machines, Tiger is the last version of OS X that supports Classic mode, the built-in virtualizer for Mac OS 9 applications. Using Classic mode on a Power Mac G3 or better, it is still possible to run many applications compiled for the original 680×0-based Macs as far back as the 1980s. Some older software or peripherals will only run under OS 9, and Classic mode extends their lifetime. Often a Tiger-based Mac will be a secondary machine repurposed just for this task. On Intel-based Macs, there are people who stick with Tiger for several reasons. This may be a budgetary decision, since upgrading to Leopard requires obtaining an installer, possibly some application updates, and often adding more RAM. Leopard's minimum RAM footprint is about twice what Tiger requires. I recommend 1 GB minimum for Leopard on PowerPC Macs and 2 GB minimum on Intel systems - these are twice Apple's minimum recommendations. Also (not infrequently), some people just dislike the newer OS in favor of the older version. On an original Intel-based Mac with a 2 GB RAM limit or a PowerPC G4-based Mac with a limit below 2 GB, the system will perform better under Tiger than with Leopard if you're running RAM-hungry apps like Final Cut Pro or the Adobe CS suite, because 10.4 leaves more RAM available to applications. Obtaining an Installer The ability to install, reinstall, or upgrade to Tiger remains important, but it is increasingly difficult. Mac OS X 10.4 install discs have been discontinued by Apple and are no longer sold at retail. Finding an installer req
