[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1127535, member: 46727"] 10 hours to install OS X is almost a guaranty that something's wrong. I've installed OS X new in less than an hour. This is indicative of a hardware problem. I would start by running a FSCK on the hard drive. Boot the machine with your Tiger DVD and use [URL="http://kb.wisc.edu/helpdesk/page.php?id=3810"]Disk Utility[/URL] to repair\check the hard drive. If that checks out OK, run the [URL="http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/aht.html"]Apple Hardware Test[/URL] from the Tiger DVD. Let us know. [/QUOTE]
