Damn it! Can't make a bootable ISO!
Well...
Sorry if this has been posted many times but the topics are so many that I can't find a proper one to reply too, so I made a new one...
The problem is that I can't make PearPC to recognise my 10.3 ISO's as bootable!
I used Nero with "Save Tracks" option, Alcohol 120%, IsoBuster & Bin2Iso, Gemulator Explorer... The last two can't read the 2 ending sectors in both my 10.2 and 10.3 CDs, Nero and Alcohol work fine in reading them...
The 10.2 ISO I make is working like a charm... But the 10.3 ISO is a bitch!
If I press 0 the emulator lists the partitions it finds... but says none of them is bootable.
Any help will be great...

ISO is Not Bootylicious
I have the same problem. I've tried every method suggested in this forum ( and many other forums ) for days and still can't make a bootable ISO. I always end up with "O Bootable Partition Found". I use EVERYTHING MacDrive 5, Nero 6.3 (using Nero Save Track ISO), Magic ISO 4.5, Clone CD 4.3, Gemulator Explorer, Toast ( in Mac and save as image ) to create ISO or IMG from CD 1 of MacOSX Panther 10.3 as instructed. I really don't know why, because CD 1, CD2, CD3 & CD4 ( I have the 4 CDs version ) all works perfectly when installed in Mac. Is it because you cannot create bootable ISO using 4 CDs version, because I've read that some people used the DVD version of MacOSX Panther 10.3 and they can create the ISO successfuly?
I went to many other forum and I found out that many other people have the same problem, but there are still no solution. Anyone have the same problem and found any solution? Thanks a lot for any help.

Remark on config file
Hello Miltos,
I can see only one entry in your config file I could make a remark about:
In my config I have this line,
#pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"
You could try it...
Best wishes,
Cat_7

Thanks for the remark Cat_7 but I don't think there's anything wrong with my config file.
I could just comment out the #pci_ide0_master_type = "hd" option, it would make no difference though.
The problem is with my 10.3 ISO image not being bootable while the 10.2 one works. I bet my Panther CD will have no problem booting on a real Mac.

Hey NO BOOTY
if you put your CD1 into the Mac and check to see just how big the disk is you will probably find it is more than 700mb, mine was 3.3 gig and it is on a dvd rom. I also have 4 cd's in my set. make sure when you save it with nero that you save the whole thing. It worked for me. Installing, well that was a different problem but I did boot from the iso and ran the disk utility so I know that it does work, not as fast as my G5 though.
I am currently at 23hrs + in the install on the pc.... not the speed I am used to, although the install of XP took me several trys because I forgot the programs are not as smart as I am...lol.
keep trying you will win

Try CDRWin and run Bin2ISO on it afterwards. I did a fresh install of CDRWin, didn't change any settings, made a BIN/CUE and ran this Bin2ISO on it:

Worked wonderfully.

Same problem here.
There is no way to make that damn iso bootable.
I've tried everything on Mac and on PC to make an iso.... but PearPC still can't find a bootable partition inside that iso.
I'm sure my iso are ok. I'm using original Panther CDs to make that isos.
I've tried to move (with pdisk) the "MacoS X Install Disk.dmg" partition from 2nd to 1st in partioton map (like the tip to make bootable the HD image after MacOS X instalaltion).... but still PearPC can't find a bootable partition.
I've posted this problem here too: http://www.emaculation.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1224
Any help?
TIA
