Snow Leopard wont install getting error can anyone help please

[tinkerbotsict]

[h=3]Hi, I'm installing on an upgraded Mac mini 1.1 (now 2.1) with a T7400 processor and 3Gb ram. The disc is recognised and boots up. It seems to stop after a while, with 23 or so minutes left. I've rebooted about 5 times. It gets a bit further each time, but only a bit. What do I need to do?[/h]

I have screen shot the issue for you gues to see any help i would be really grateful for

 

Thanks

I've seen the "failed to enumerate . . ." error message before and it turned out to be bad installer media. If you contact Apple they may send you a replacement? You've nothing to lose if you try. Another possibility is which type of 10.6 installer are you using? If you're using a hardware specific one (grey in colour) then it probably will fail because the hardware is not what the disk is expecting. You'd need the generic 10.6.3 installer which has a Snow Leopard on it. One further possibility is the processor upgrade may not have taken as well as you'd hoped. I would strip it down again, make sure you really clean the heatsink, put it back together again and zap the PRAM (option+command+p+r simultaneously) just once when switching it back on.

 

Hope this helps?
