ronikondo Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 i have downloaded the mac osx86- vmware image (1.3 gb ), burned it to a dvd, set my computer to cd booting, and nothing is happening. what could possibly be the reason for that ? thank you Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/30095-why-do-i-have-trouble-installing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 As the title says, it is a VMWare image ( a virtual disk image). It is not a bootable CD. Fire up VMWare and point it to the image. You will find that you have downloaded a rather old version of 10.4.1 OSX that has limited use. Download a 10.4.5, 10.4.6 or 10.4.7 install DVD.

Rammjet Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 It appears that you are downloading the JaS 10.4.6 install DVD. This is a good one. Don't you think that we would have to know what the error message is saying before we can even try to help with it?

ronikondo Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 you are right . i'm sorry. the error is that i dont have enough disk space. but i do. i have more than 20giga free space on the download target (partition d;/ ). any way the download got stuck on the very begining so i deleted it. would you please tell me if this file is right ? please notice that this file is smaller than the previous. and when i burn it- should it be on "create iso" mode ? thank you Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/30095-why-do-i-have-trouble-installing/#findComment-208515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown© Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Hi ronikondo and welcome to the insanley mac forums.. Yes that image is ok, I would suggest searching for Jas on a popular torrent site and download the 10.4.7 image it has much more on the DVD than most, If you use nero or any other popular burning software there should be a option to "Burn Image File" Regards.

Rammjet Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 It looks like you are downloading a folder. There is a tab in Azureus that tells you what files are in the item you are downloading. Or you could just find the item on your hard drive and examine it. I'm betting you will find a bunch of rar files in the folder. Join them using Winrar or other similar utility and it becomes an iso.

m1956 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Winrar is an archiving utility you can download from the torrent sites. Install it then you can open the rar files you currently have. Double click on the file with the .rar extension, winrar will do the rest. cheers Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/30095-why-do-i-have-trouble-installing/#findComment-209091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
