[QUOTE=".Bennett, post: 1280240, member: 96528"] Like I mentioned, the optical drive isn't the issue. I loaded SL on a USB stick and tried to boot that way and still same error. So its definitely not the drive. And as far as the RAM goes, I loaded Lion on the OEM hard drive no problems. Installed smooth and is running Lion currently. However, I want to swap hard drives (as mentioned in my OP) or at the very least wipe the previous owners stuff off the current one and since I can't boot from CD (USB stick either apparently), I can't do either. Anyway, would loading Lion rule out the RAM issue? I really appreciate all the help Edit: Not the RAM. Swapped it out with the RAM in my MBP and same story. Whisky Tango Foxtrot [/QUOTE]
