After installing the 1st OS10.2 disc using XPF 2,2,5. The system did not ask for the 2nd Installer disc, but tried to reboot using the incomplete OS10.2 System on a clean hard drive. Has any one any ideas on how to instal the 2nd OS 10.2 disc using XPF 2.2.5 on my Umax Pulsar. As without this 2nd disc installed it looks as if I am unable to boot up in OS10. In waiting, a fustrated OS9.2.2 user. |

Erm, the installer script reboots your mac before XPF can "OldWorld" sanctify the newly created OS X system/partition. You need to hold Option down during bootup until you see the grey OS 9 style startup screen (just the all grey part is fine), run XPF on your new OS X.2 system using ONLY the "Reinstall Extensions" and "Reinstall BootX" options. Only then can you successfully restart into your new OS X system. Disc 2 is Printer Drivers and "Additional Applications", neither of which are a concern, and will be asked for on a successul OS X reboot anyway (you can choose to not install anything from it, instead quitting and OS X will run fine). Hope this helps! - Chibi Delennâ„¢ |

Some questions if you don't mind How far do you get in the boot-up process after the install reboots? Or, do you simply assume the install was incomplete without the second CD and abort? Did you choose custom install? If so you may have deselected everything from the second disc. Did you know even if you do a full install, the Mac will reboot before asking for the second disc? The installer first installs the complete OS and then reboots to install the extras. This is similar to how Windows has done it as well as a few Linux distributions, not that it really matter how other installations are handled. Thank you and I hope you enjoy OS X. |

There's nothing on Disc 2 that will prevent you from installing a bootable system. It only contains things like additional language support and printer drivers. I suggest you do a verbose boot (hold down Cmd-V) and report back on what messages are generated. There's probably a hardware or disk formatting problem that needs to be fixed. |
