I put in the disk for windows xp service pack 2 and then it said; boot from hard drive... failed. boot from cd/dvd-rom drive... failed. boot from floppy drive.. non- system disk or disk error replace and press any ket when ready then if i tried anything else it would just repeat the same thing over and over again. what am i doing wrong? :/
As you can see it fails to detect CD Check following: 1. Boot sequence is set to CD-ROM - COnfiguration Editor- Configuration - Options - Booting 2. Try to create ISO image and specify it in COnfiguration Editor- Configuration- CD/DVD-ROM 1 To create ISO 1. Insert CD/DVD source 2. Start Terminal from Applicatins/Utilities, you can then determine the device that is you CD/DVD drive using the following command: $ drutil status Vendor Product Rev MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-835E GAND Type: DVD-ROM Name: /dev/disk1 Cur Write: 8x DVD Sessions: 1 Max Write: 8x DVD Tracks: 1 Overwritable: 00:00:00 blocks: 0 / 0.00MB / 0.00MiB Space Free: 00:00:00 blocks: 0 / 0.00MB / 0.00MiB Space Used: 364:08:27 blocks: 1638627 / 3.36GB / 3.13GiB Writability: Book Type: DVD-ROM 3. Umount the disk with the following command: $ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1 Disk /dev/disk1 unmounted 4. Create the ISO file with the dd utility (may take some time): $ dd if=/dev/disk1 of=file.iso bs=2048
I tried what you told me and in the terminal after i typed Vendor Product Key it said, Vendor: command not found. I just ignored it and kept going and it said this; Macintosh:~ DiN0x3$ MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-835E GAND -bash: MATSHITA: command not found Macintosh:~ DiN0x3$ Macintosh:~ DiN0x3$ DVD-ROM Name: /dev/disk1 -bash: DVD-ROM: command not found Macintosh:~ DiN0x3$ Cur Write: 8x DVD Sessions: 1 -bash: Cur: command not found Macintosh:~ DiN0x3$ Max Write: 8x DVD Tracks: 1 -bash: Max: command not found Macintosh:~ DiN0x3$ Overwritable: 00:00:00 blocks: 0/ 0.00MB/ 0.00MiB -bash: Overwritable:: command not found Macintosh:~ DiN0x3$ i just gave up after that.
