[QUOTE="pivs, post: 1409755, member: 254180"] you're right, chscag, i'll use paragraphs! So the OS X problem was solved at the Mac Store, where they installed Snow Leopard from their network. I'll keep an eye open whether the optical drive is failing. The Snow Leopard DVD had a strange irregularity on the surface, I hope that was the problem. Tuxera? Could be, but the first harddrive crashed when Tuxera wasn't active on my MacBook yet. I remember we had tried to install it, but it didn't work. That's why we formatted the first harddrive as FAT32. New information: now that my MacBook is running Snow Leopard, every time I plug in one of the corrupted harddrives, everything freezes and a message pops up that says I have to force restart by holding the power button. I still don't understand how, apparently, compatibility issues between harddrives and the Mac can cause such serious damage... [/QUOTE]
