Unable to install Mac OSX update 10.4.2

Tags: update, volume, mac, install
Hi,

I'm new to the Mac experience and I'm having problems installing the OSX update 10.4.2.  I downloaded the update without any problems.  When I start the installation process, I am able to progress through the different screens up until "Select A Destination".  Here, the Macintosh HD icon has the red exclamation mark on it.  The error message below it states "You cannot install Mac OS X Update on this volume.  This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."

The update needs 125MB of space, and I have more then 49GB free.  I installed Bootcamp earlier today, so I'm wondering if that has anything to do with this.

Appreciate any help-
J

The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community
