I am trying to install 10.2 clean on my 8600 with a Siig U-ATA 133 Controller and a 40GB Maxtor HD attached to it. I was able to install Mac 9.2.2 with no problems at all but i am unable to get OS X 10.2 or 10.0 to install. I am using Xpostfacto 2.2.1 but when it reboots i dont hear the hard drive or cd drive searching. I see the Apple and spinning disk thingy on screen but after a couple of minutes i get the Circle with slash through it. Any suggestions? |

Yes, you can move an install from one drive to another with Carbon Copy Cloner (amongst other methods, but CCC is the easiest). You do need to boot the new copy with XPostFacto in order to make sure that BootX is installed properly (which won't be the case after CCC has done its thing). To diagnose the "circle with slash through" issue, the best thing is to hold down command-v as XPostFacto reboots the machine. This should get you into verbose mode, and result in an error message of some kind. |

Yeah i was able to install OS 9.2.2 and OS 10.1.5 on this machine on a small 4GB SCSI Drive before the upgrade. Since the upgrade i was able to install OS 9.2.2 but not OS 10.2. Maybe if i put back the SCSI drive and install OS 10.2 onto that then move it to the new IDE drive. Is that possible to install on one drive then move the whole OS onto another drive and boot from the new drive??? |

I had trouble with my CD-ROM drive not booting up. Have you successfully done this (installed XPostFacto) before on your computer with your current CD-ROM drive? I had to yank an older (Apple ROMed) CD-ROM drive and install it temporarily to do the install. |
