[CUBE] Help! Problem installing OS X

[TonVanHest]

(I will reply to all in this message).

The drive was set as master and I did try to partition/format using the 
diskutility from the install. This gave no problems.

Then I got an idea.

I tried whether or not I could use the Cube in Taget mode. This was no 
problem and subsequently I succeeded in transfering from my iMac to the 
Cube using Carbon Copy Cloner.

Also I was then able to boot the HD containing the OS.

Then I tried again to use the OS X install disks and this time they 
worked flawlessly!

So now all is well, except that I would still like to know what could 
have caused this.

Gr,
Ton
