[QUOTE="oceandigital, post: 1369077, member: 237635"] Ok, I had success. I was trying to reinstall SL with a copy I purchased but it never worked. I then found a set of discs that came with my Mini, which was SL but the disks looked different. Anyways, I used the discs that came with my machine and everything went well, I was able to boot to the disc, format the drive and reinstall SL! Im so happy to have SL back, Lion was a train wreck for me. ps. now that I know only the discs that came with our computers will work for a recovery I highly recommend making duplicates since they will be impossible to find replacements incase of damage.
