[QUOTE="ploth, post: 691788, member: 61144"] Gday guys - I am new to Mac & setting up my mum & dad and a few other people as well. Totally green with Mac but had enough of MS. I have a brand new Macbook pro on it's way with all the fruit - but until then setting up ibooks... One machine froze while downloading - mum turned it off & then it wouldn't reboot. So dad formatted the HDD & who knows what else! I have tried to re-install 10.3 but it freezes on the second screen. (ie before the legal agreement) Any suggestions? I reset PRAM & PRU but didn't help - is this a hdd / ram issue? When I try to use Disk Utility it freezes and says "gathering system info" but that is it - it won't pull up and drives to erase etc... And advice would be appreciated Adam [/QUOTE]
