[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 676192, member: 2960"] So you started up by pressing which key... the "D" or the "C"? There is a big difference in the two... and not just because they are different letters. ;) :) The C key forces the Mac to start up from an optical disc drive. The D key forces the Mac to start up from the internal hard disk. Your first post clearly states that you were using the "D" key, which would account for the failure to boot from the install disc.
