Comments on: Checking your Installation DVD /2005/05/14/checking-your-installation-dvd/ Tips and tricks to get technology to work for you, by Michael Boyd Clark Sat, 20 Feb 2016 14:14:51 +0000 hourly 1 By: Matt Hayward /2005/05/14/checking-your-installation-dvd/comment-page-1/#comment-7421 Mon, 25 Dec 2006 08:03:23 +0000 http://www.planetmike.com/journal/?p=165#comment-7421 The check is pointless. If there was a scratch on the DVD, OS X wouldn’t install anyway (I’m assuming it would do something similar to what Windows does; ie keep asking for the file it can’t find).

Your observation is correct, but what I find amusing is that the system is still completely non bootable if an error is found. It would be pointless to continue to install if errors WERE detected.

I’m commenting because I’m bored, I’m trying to get OS X, Windows and Ubuntu to play ball; and as per usual I haven’t followed the instructions, and so am suffering greatly.

Yes, I realise that I’m commenting over a year later than the actual post, but anything to keep me awake, goes.
