Last week I wiped my MBP (Gen 5,1) and installed Linux alongside Mac OSX. Since, Last night, I was configuring my linux installation. My intention is to utilize the harnessing computing power of MBP at its most, rather than simply sticking on to Leopard, which does uses only half of the capacity of MBP. I didn't pay much attention to wifi, audio.... Despite this, I could able to manage graphics (using nividia drivers) and isight (v4l2 drivers) and touchpad..(still tab is not working, I am clicking the touchpad to perform any action)... But for me, important is its number crunching capacity.... and eventual utilization of its maximum computing power. There is a separate blog on this later.
After all these, I decided to restore my Leopard back to its partition. I installed the Leopard, updated to the latest update (10.5.8, Safari, iTunes.....).
I got trouble, when I tried to install garageband, iWeb. iPhoto.... from Applications install DVD. Miserably, it failed when it tried to install garageband loops and prompted me with the following error message and suggestion.
I would really appreciate anyone could help me out with this. Would Apple, replace my Applications install DVD.
Upon visual examination, I could see some circular scratches in the DVD. I am sure, I was keeping the disc safe, and I had no such scratches before I insert it into the DVD drive. I believe, this should have been caused by the DVD drive only and not by any external means. I am waiting to see the Apple's reply!! Keeping my fingers crossed.
