I am trying to install 10.5 on a G5 I get the message install fails could not validate contents of the additionalspeechvoices package, is there a way to fix this?
Where did you get the insdtall disk from? If it is a grey update disk it will not work. You must have a black retail install disk.
It is a black retail retail disk,
Didnt have any troubles with installing it the first time, then the Maxtor hard drive went bad, installed it to a new drive and didnt have any troubles untill recently, but tried to reinstall again, but get the message install fails could not validate contents of the additionalspeechvoices package, now. It gets to about 4 minutes left then quits with the error message.
Have you tried cleaning the disk? It sounds like it has been damaged.
It is a little scratched but i've seen worse work with out any problems

So what does that tell you!
Sometimes an incomplete install will boot - have you tried booting?
Not much, many scratched disc work fine, it completted the disc stability test that take 10 minutes to run before installation begins, if it was a damaged disc why wouldn't the 10 minute test tell you before going through a botched installation. I just skip the test the next time i install since it means nothing.
no it wouldnt boot after the restart
Is there any data on the hard disk which is not backed up elsewhere?
If not erase it and attempt a clean install.
bad memory stick was the problem, install disc worked fine after bad memory was removed
