OSX 10.4.6 failed installation on seagate 250GB drive

Hi
My 60GB hard drive on my macbook failed with the click of death. I bought the seagate 250GB drive as a replacement. When I came to install the operating system, the first disk completed its tasks successfully, and I was prompted to insert the second disk.

At the end of the installation process for this second disk however, I receive the message 'errors during installation' and 'please try again'. I have done this, completed a hardware check, tried removing one of RAM chips, all to no avail. Have also reset the hardware settings, again with no effect.

Has anyone had a similar experience with a failed installation like this? I'd be really grateful for advice as I really need to get the machine running again!

Thanks!
(White Macbook 2.0GHz, 2GB Ram, OSX 10.4.6)
 
Dvd

The DVD itself is clean- it's been in the paper sleeve, in the box, since I bought the machine.

Okay then, did you look at the installation log? It isn't saved to your HD of course, since the install failed. You CAN view it though - try hitting :apple:+L while the installer's running to see it. That is the best way to determine exactly what's going wrong.

Hi there,

Thanks for your help with this. Here are the logs. I've included everything in two posts as hopefully there is something that is meaningful to you tucked in there.

Assistance very much appreciated!

Installing Base OS only

Hi thanks for this suggestion. How would I go about doing this? When I turn the computer on it automatically runs installer and prompts for the second install disk. What is the way around this?

Thanks again
 
The root problem seems to be GarageBand. Try omitting this from the installation.

If you wish to install the base OS only, or follow my suggestion, do this:

Insert the install DVD. Hold C while the computer boots, to tell it to boot from the disc. Then, proceed as normal with the installation - EXCEPT make sure you go into the customize screen and deselect the stuff that's causing errors (GarageBand seems to be the culprit).
 
IT'S ALIVE! THANK YOU wrldwzrd89!

Now writing on my MacBook! I re-ran the installation and unchecked the extra bundled software, installed successfully!

I really appreciate your help wrldwzrd89,

Best wishes

p.s. the Seagate 7200rpm drive does seem to be faster than the old 60gb 5400 drive I had. Machine running better than new. :D
