[QUOTE="funkenstein91, post: 1359207, member: 234013"] I have a problem with my Macbook. I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed. When I try to boot into OS X it takes about 20 minutes to get past the blue screen after the Apple logo. Then, once I log-in, OS X runs somewhat slowly and the fans are constantly blowing. At first I tried to restore from Time Machine thinking that maybe something I had done had caused it. The Snow Leopard installation disc also took about 20 minutes to load. The Time Machine restore took much longer than usual. When I restarted the machine, OS X behaved the same. I then restored from an earlier backup, thinking maybe 10.6.8 had triggered something in the machine to go wrong. Same result. Finally, I loaded the OS X disc and tried to do a clean install of Snow Leopard in hopes that it would fix my problems. It got up to 95% after about 2 hours and then said OS X could not be installed on my hard drive. Meanwhile, I'm able to load my boot camp partition no problem. Windows works just as it always has. It's like my Macbook wants me to use Windows or something. [/QUOTE]
