Okay - I don't see any folder called System and a search doesn't turn up OSInstall.mpkgrpmurray wrote:Yes, that's how I determined that the Mac Model Identifier needed to be presented to the VM so that OS X would install as a guest.

I'm speculating that in the case of the OS X discs that came bundled with the Mac there might be additional checks the installer does since those discs would contain drivers to support new hardware features, etc., and Apple may have wanted to make sure they were only used on Macs that could support that.
Robert, if you want to do as michaln suggests then there's a write-up at 10.5: Bypass the installer's system requirements check.
I wonder if that's what the problem is, maybe it's a damaged disk with some of its content missing?\
