[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1455358, member: 56379"] When I hear of a long startup like that (8 minutes) I usually think of 2 possibilities: 1. Something is missing or wrong with the OS. 2. Something is wrong/bad with the HD. I know that this HD is new...and it's usually pretty rare to get a bad HD when buying a new HD...but it could be a bad HD. Are you absolutely sure this "Mac Techie" person installed a new HD...or did they install a used one? - Nick [/QUOTE]
