[QUOTE="jhowton, post: 1107940, member: 51930"] Hi, I have had Linux Mint on my 17" MBP, early unibody model for a month or two but I decided to re-install OSX snow leopard from my shrink wrapped copy. I booted to the installation DVD, used disk utility to delete all of the partitions and create a new Mac OS Extended Journaled partition with the GUID option selected. The installer goes through the copying of files normally but right before the reboot I get the following screen: [IMG]http://gallery.me.com/jamiehowton/100712/Osx%20error/web.jpg?ver=12837400150001[/IMG] When I reboot, the new OS starts to boot but takes an awfully long time to boot if it's going to at all. I have tried this now with two different hard drives, and two sets of OSX installation media and it's always the same outcome. This is driving me a bit crazy because I've put new hard drives in Macs for years and this is not exactly a new process for me -- it just ain't working this time. TIA. [/QUOTE]
