| 787180 | 2009-07-02 00:10:00 | I should probably go buy new cd's, the cd-rw's i used where reformated like 3 times and had been sitting in my basement for a while. | LarsJohann (13010) | ||
| 787181 | 2009-07-05 19:51:00 | Ok i've managed to get my hands on some new CD-R's and here's what's happening. I burned the Ubuntu Desktop 9.04 Image in ImgBurn at 24x. This time ImgBurn did not detect any errors and no bad sectors. I went to try installing Ubuntu and i still get :ide-gd: no disk and drive". It repeats over and over until i am forced to reboot my machine. If anyone knows possibly why i get this error please let me know. I know for a fact that the CD drive works perfectly fine in the Mac. Thanks, Lars. |

| 787182 | 2009-07-05 21:39:00 | Does this (www.gifford.co.uk) look like the kind of box you're trying to install it on? If so, it might be worth taking a look at that guide - the issues certainly seem on the surface to be similar. Out of interest, how much ram does this box have? |

| 787183 | 2009-07-05 23:03:00 | That is not the same box but mine is a G3. I'll try and take a look at that guide. I'm not sure how to install it from the guide though. i dont really understand lol. | LarsJohann (13010) | ||
| 787184 | 2009-07-06 00:26:00 | What is currently running on this box? | Erayd (23) | ||
| 787185 | 2009-07-08 00:17:00 | The box is currently running Mac OS 8.6. | LarsJohann (13010) | ||
| 787186 | 2009-07-08 08:03:00 | OK - and what is the reason you can't use BootX? | Erayd (23) | ||
| 787187 | 2009-07-09 01:56:00 | Sorry, i'm not really familiar with Macs. I've never used them in my life. What's BootX? And where can i get it? | LarsJohann (13010) | ||
