Cannot install Logic on a G5 Dual 2.0 Ghz with 2.5 gigs of memory

Question

I am attempting to install My Logic Pro onto a G5 Dual 2.0Ghz CPu with 2.5 gigs of memory. I've tried it twice now, both times with the same result. It gets through the Audio Content Discs, then asks for the Logic Studio Installer Disc and promptly quits. A generic message comes up stating that there might be a problem with my DVDs and I should contact the manufacturer. I know these install Discs are good, I just did an install on my primary computer with no problem. This is a used G5 bought form a third party. It's running everything else okay. From skimming through these threads, I get the sense that there are too many possibilities to easily narrow this down. I also have not found an exact replica of my situation with a positive solution. Could it be memory? Everything seems to check out okay. I have a big enough hard drive - 160 gigs - mostly empty.
One other specific explanation of my installation attempts. I am installing the application to the internal hard drive but I am directing all the audio content to be installed on an external firewire drive - this drive has plenty of room available - approximately 300 gigs. I did no direct it to a specific folder, just to the drive itself - could that be an issue?
Any thoughts? Thanks.

Answer 1

So the Audio Content is installed?
Let's start with the bleeding obvious (the "empty petroltank"): have you thoroughly inspected the disk for scratches or dirt? It is always possible that your disk was damaged or soiled after the first successfull install.
It is unlikely that there is either a memory or a diskspace issue - the installer would have reported so much earlier. So clean your disk and try again.
Another possibility is that your drive is at fault. So try other disks to see if they perform ok, or hook up an external drive (if you've got one) and try it from there.
Good Luck!
