Hi,
I'm trying to install OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.3) on a MacBook A1181, on which Tiger (10.4) was probably installed but corrupt.
After the CD was inserted, I can only see, during minutes, the light grey screen with the rotating wheel.
I can hear a strong air flow, like the fan is running fast.
Pressing C during startup does not change anything,
(nor does resetting the PRAM, or booting in single user mode).
When pressing "Alt" during startup, I see a "Lock" icon with a field asking for password and the disks are not listed.
Does this mean that I need some administrative password to make the install ?
Thank you for your help.
