[QUOTE="Rimmer, post: 979332, member: 44647"] Do you get the loud CHANG sound when you turn it on? If so, then force the machine OFF then hit the power then hold the SHIFT key down until something happens. It's essentially a safe mode. Better still, chuck in your original install DVD then hold the "C" key when you boot up. This should boot the install CD. Look out for when you have a menu system at the top of the screen. Select Disk Utility then run FIRST AID on the main HD. Best of luck Rimmer [/QUOTE]
