Sven, from the content of your message I'm confused... help me out you are trying to install "10.2" right? on what type of hard drive? give me a "brand name and model" and is this drive connected to a controller card or connected to the motherboard directly? Why are you not using Apples Disk Utility (Drive setup) you do have a Apple CD don't you? preferably 9.1 boot from the disk.. format the drive.. forget about FWB or CHARIS drive setups, use Xpostfacto and use a version thats not quite "new" the newer versions of XPF like ATI cards. say 2.2b14 because of that IXmicro card, also what driver version are you using with that video card? is it up to date? Go to OWC Computing (macsales.com) their "tech center" for ixmicro drivers. Oh, you have no other drives connected right?
