    Hey everyone,

    I'm trying to install iWork '06 but it kept on saying "iWork won't mount" and under reason it says "Not recognized". Anybody had the same proble before?

    Thanks

    Maybe your install disk is scratched?

    Confirm that your drive's working properly by checking if it reads other discs without any problems.

    Anything I could do before I replace it? I mean I'm probably missing something here... I've repaired permissions and cleared all caches using Onyx and DiskUtil. Any more troubleshooting steps?

    If the disk won't mount, then it's the disk that's the problem. I doubt you can do anything with your system to allow it to mount. It's probably a physical defect on the disk, or the data was badly written onto the disk.

    I've tried other disc, and it worked fine. I can access the files on the disc, so the disc mounts, it's the "dmg" file itself that's not mounting. Arghhh... I have a presentation due on Friday :'-(

    Yey! I finally got it to work. I dunno what solution worked for me, but I just ran ONYX and performed all possible parameters or stuff there (i.e. execute stuff under cleaning, parameters, maintenance, execution)

    Whew! I got so close to giving up... Thanks for helping me guys.. I appreciate it a lot.



    P.S.
    Sorry for those I bugged...
