[QUOTE="rosiebeeme, post: 1484882, member: 289253"] I found the original (unused) disks that came with my MacBook - late 2007. I installed the first installation disk, but when it said to: INSERT THE MAC OS X INSTALL DISC 2 DISC TO CONTINUE INSTALLATION.... the disk went in for a short time, then was ejected. It appears that the computer is still installing- it says: INSTALLING MAC OS X ON THE VOLUME-TIME REMAINING- CALCULATING...... This has been going on for a very long time. Is this normal? I tried to shut off the computer and restart it, but it just goes back to this same spot. Should I just let it keep INSTALLING? I would appreciate any help. Thanks. :) [/QUOTE]
