TOPIC
When iMac customers attempt to reinstall AppleWorks while booted from the iMac Software Install CD, the installation will proceed until the AppleWorks Help Files are written, at which point they will get an error that states that the disk is locked. The installation will quit at this point. What is the problem?
DISCUSSION Even though the Macintosh HD is selected as the destination disk, the AppleWorks installer will attempt to write files to the currently active system folder. When booted from the CD, this folder is locked. Running the installer while booted from the HD will resolve this issue. |
