[QUOTE="Rainwater, post: 273237"] Thanks, D3. I did a PRAM reset but that didn't seem to help. If I try to boot to the MAC drive icon from the install disk, I just get the silver screen, spinning gear, then it shuts down. The machine is only about 1-1/2 years old and has only seen light duty in my home, so I wouldn't think the disk should have died yet - although it does happen. (I'm posting this from my trusty Wintel PC.) I just can't help but believe there is something very simple that's gone awry here, with an easy fix. Sure would hate to have to replace the drive and start over with loading apps, getting wireless printing/internet to work again, trying to recover itunes, my ipod, etc. - Rainwater [/QUOTE]
