I'm getting rid of my eMac. I perfromed an 8 pass erase on the disk, the next phase, says "Creating Partition Map". It has been like this for 4 days! The status bar has not moved but it is twirling, the beachball is also twirling.
I need know what will happen if I kill the power to the computer at this point?
Or what else can I do?
I'm assuming that data has already been erased at this point.
I just wanted to erase the disk and reinstall the OS to give to a friend.
I'm wondering if I shut down (if it lets me) what will happen when I reboot or should I just try to run the installer.
Can anyone help me?
It's running 10.3.9
