hard drive .img not appearing in Mac install window
hi i have gotten pear pc running & attempting to install panther... but when the Mac OS install gets to the part where you select the 3 or 6 GB disk image, there is no image to select... i have followed all the instructions manually with both ppc v 0.3 & 0.4 & also with PearPC Control Panel, plus i read the forums so fairly sure i am doing it as per instructions... but each time it gets to the part where i need to select the hdd to install on, there is none there to select.
any idea what could be wrong?

Hi,
This a known issue with some hard disk image files. Where did you disk image come from? Perhaps using the one from this site helps out:
http://www.emaculation.com/pearpc/macosx_6gb.rar
Otherwise try the one from the pearpc site:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pear ... ib.img.bz2
And please remember you need to restart PearPC to let the installer see the disk. (but after you used disk utility successfully, of course)
Best,
Cat_7

Ok, I guess third time is a charm...I have downloaded the image files for a third time and using winrar have extracted. The disk image is finally viewable, I removed printer drivers for the installation, it finished prepping but failed at installation and am currently stuck there.
Any ideas on what I should install?

OS X 10.4, but it seems that 3 seems to be a magical number. The third time into this the install completed and pearpc shutdown. I have since removed the install iso and the cd device from the cfg.
I closed pearpc and relaunched with the new settings and used the drive to boot from and it has been on the apple logo and the circle running for well over 2.5 hours.
How long does it normally take for the initial launch?

Thanks for all the help along the way.
