I have a neighbor with an old mac , 450 mgz, 198 memory and 20 gb with 8 gb free with panther. He has had many problems and I recommended to just reformat the drive, erase and start fresh with a clean install.
However, last night we put the cd in the cdrom and click, erase and install and for an hour, we just saw a blue screen. I tried to force quit and even turn it off, and nothing worked.
My neighbor is a senior citizen w/o any money so Im trying to help him.
What did I do wrong? Im new to Macs.
How can I try again, but I cant get rid off the blue screen.
I was going to try command line, fsck and now , I wish I would have taken that route.
Please Im desperate. If you can break it down for me in dummies term, I would really appreciated.
TIA
