[QUOTE="MDJCM, post: 1535793, member: 117544"] Yep, so I took out the original HDD and put it in a USB caddy, formatted and installed 10.8 over USB (via a different Mac), and put the drive back in the MBP and now it boots fine without 3 beeps. I'll check if it now accepts booting off the Snow Leopard DVD, as that was consistently giving the 3 beeps before. [/QUOTE]
