BigDanTex Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 You mentionned "DVD drive"... Are you creating your USB installer using a mounted SL DVD? Could the DVD be damaged? It doesn't look like it is - its a proper retail SL 10.6.3 and there are no obvious scratches or defects on the disk. If i mount it would it then read an image from the HDD? Showing my lack of technical knowledge here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted February 7, 2013 Administrators Share Posted February 7, 2013 I guess the DVD is auto-mounted on insertion or myHack would not detect SL media to create the installer. But it's clearly reporting an issue reading some of the files, hence my conclusion that it may be damaged. Maybe you could make an image out of it and try to mount that disk image instead for myHack.

Administrators Bronxteck Posted February 8, 2013 Administrators Share Posted February 8, 2013 you might just have a bad dvd drive on your machine.... it is a known problem. try cleaning the lens. but usually it's a bad ribbon to the laser pickup of the drive.
