[QUOTE="wreckthisplace, post: 672130, member: 58144"] hey all i was hoping for a response on this. ive had my powerbook for some time now. i ran into some trouble with the hard drive acting weird. slow response, beach ball came up a lot etc... i decided to do a quick format and reinstall. i made it past the formatting on the quickest setting. when i got to installing leopard it would get to a point and then kernal panic asking me to shut down my computer. i then tried formatting again but this time chose to zero out all data as i was told that can get rid of problematic sectors. this time it didnt make it past the formatting. it again gave me a kernal panic and asked me to shut down my computer. is there anything else i can try or is this hard drive most likely at the point of no return? any help would be appreciated. thanks a lot. cheers [/QUOTE]
