[QUOTE="Yerpaltommy, post: 1369807, member: 237494"] [b]I fixed it!!!!!![/b] On a lark, I plugged in the Time Machine, which happens to be a Seagate external HD which has 1tb. It plugs in using a USB and it's about the size of a pack of cigarillos. Like magic, the Macbook slowly came to life and gave me a couple of choices. The first thing I did was open Disk Utilities and partition the HD so it has one whopping partition. It worked!! Then I selected reinstall the backup, which transfers everything over to the Macbook from the Time Machine. It has several hours to go but it looks like it will work just fine. Time Machine saved my bacon!!! Don't leave home without it having backed you up! Hurray for Macs Yerpaltommy [/QUOTE]
