[QUOTE="Toasty, post: 1369024, member: 237631"] Apologies for the length of this... I'm not attached to a network. The problem occurred after I had to buy a second hand mac, as the mother board went on my original one. I bought a like for like model and replaced the hardrive in the second mac with my original one. Everything worked perfectly for about a month, then I started to get problems starting up. I performed a couple of reinstalls from disk over the space of about 2 weeks because it had trouble starting up a couple of times. At one stage I ran a disk repair and it fixed a problem I don't have a record of. Finally I tried to reinstall from disk and it repeatedly returned an error message and failed the reinstall. I tried this with the Snow Leopard disk that was mine from the original mac and the one supplied with the second hand mac I bought. Incidentally the hard drive from the second hand mac is working fine. I'm using it right now. [/QUOTE]
