  FCS 2 main install disc not showing up…

  Posted by Tad Newberry on July 18, 2007 at 8:02 am

  i put it in after wiping the system drive (backed it up to FW drive), and it doesn’t launch, and doesn’t show up anywhere. so i installed Studio 1, thinking this main disc had to see an earlier version, but no dice.

  the other studio 2 discs do open up, but just not the main one.

  wut up wif dat?

  thanks for helping out a bonehead!

  alrighty, well, after sitting in the drive for about 20 minutes (and being very quiet), the install window opened up and i started to “Install FCS”. then the Installer application “suddenly quit”, so i started over…same thing…restarted, and it’s off and running like a normal install.

  makes me feel a little “iffy” about this install. have any of you experienced this?

  the LiveType Media 2 disc was not being read either. after about 10 tries (plus letting it sit there all night to see if it might happen), i finally just went on to the Motion Content disc and that one is installing fine. . .

  i’m guessing i could probably install the LiveType Media 2 disc later if needed, without screwing up too much inside of Studio 2???

  so i inserted the last few discs, which opened fine (though via a new finder window and not from the “Installer” requester), but they all installed fine. then i went back to LiveType Media 2…and it opened in a Finder window. it installed fine, but now i have this frozen Installer window still asking for LiveType Media 2 that won’t close and won’t go away….

  i hate to do a Force Quit, or worse yet a hard reboot, as it seems it could corrupt the install…but what else can i do right now? i can’t get back to the “finish” part of the install menu because that frozen window is still asking for LiveType Media 2 (even though it has now been installed, though just not via Installer).

  maybe i have gremlins in my house???
