Does the installation actually begin and stop at a certain point? When I was installing 10.1.3 on a 9600 we had to try it 5 times before it finally installed w/o any errors. Also with XpostFacto, you have to follow the directions down to the letter. We tried cutting a few corners but it just led to a bad install and we had to try It again. I think we spend half a day on that little sucker Hope this helps! -- J.Blanton Austin Texas -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
