PowerCenterPro "Broken Icon" |

From my readings, on this forum & FAQs, I am guessing my non-Apple CD- Rom drive is the culprit = BUT HOW CAN I GET IT TO WORK? I have a PowerCenterPro 180, with a Sonnet 500Mhz G3 card installed, 512MB Ram, an additional 8GB HDD, stock everything else. The "install" option of XPostFacto gives me a broken folder icon and i can see the CD-Rom drive does not spin up. The "restart" option of XPostFacto (though i don't have OS 10.0 installed yet) gives me the same screen, but no broken folder icon, instead some coding comes over the top of the desktop startup screen and ends with "hanging here...." I am assuming this is the Kernal Panic? What can I do from here. Do I need to remove the vidoe card, the stock ATI one? or is there a work-around for the non-Apple CD-Rom drive? Please answer quickly! Thanks! |

Could you try doing the install in verbose mode (with command-v held down as XPostFacto reboots the machine)? That should help verify that the problem is with the CD-ROM device. |

sorry as i was typing my response on anouther thread the site came back up. did you Pick there right disk for XpostFacto to use?(it has to be the hard drive partition that you just put the X CD on) i did that once because they have the same name. also you should eject the X CD because in 9 (i dont know really for X because i never tried) it would always start to start up then die. also check your SCSI term. i think i had a problem with that too. i think you video card is fine. i think the only one that had problems was the ATI radeon 7000. Sorry if this does not help much but it sounded like you had the same problems as me and that prity much boiled down to the CD drive was unsupported even in OSX. its wierd though after it installs you can use it for anything but Music   |

Okay, I tried your suggestions, and I get the same thing, a broken icon :-( Do you think it might be the video card on this PowerCenter. Should I remove it for installation, or does the broken folder icon mean it has something to do with not finding a "valid" system folder? |

i think you do need to partition again because i dont think that OSX will install onto the installer drive. but you might try it without checking erase you drive before restoring and checking restore in place. I thought it was a part of OS9 but if its not on your 9.1 hard drive then it must be on the X CD |

I have the 8GB drive formatted into two 4GB sections, one partition i was planning on installing OS X on, can i still use the "Apple Software Restore" method to the same partition I want to install OS X onto? Just for clarification, the "apple software restore" will appear in Sherlock - saying it is located on the OS X CD-Rom, after i search for it, then I drag the OS X icon from the desktop onto the "apple restore" icon in the Sherlock window? is that all correct? thanks. |

your going to need to eather get a new Hard drive or partition the one you have and make a 800mb partition. then find Apple Software restore by entering it into serlock then drag the X cd over the icon. (it works best if you tell it to reformat the section again) then use XpostFacto like you normaly would. |
