    what program are you using to burn the image? see if iso-buster can mount the iso up and verify it. (i think it can also burn the image for you too... not sure)

    OK now I'm 99.9% certain you have an illegal copy of OSX. Sorry, but you're not going to get any answers on this Forum to help you with piracy.

    What you are trying to do is pirate OS X it seems, and that is against our forum rules. If you have a Mac, call Apple and they will probably replace your OS X discs for you.

    Thread closed.
