[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1530963, member: 24160"] an "I/O error". Would be a little surprised on an '09 model, but that def could be a cable problem along with "all" the symptoms you have described trying to install the OS could by I/O issues rather than drive issues. I'd go back into the case, unplug the hard drive cable then plug it back in and test before I ordered another one. And if you have the retail disk of 10.6, there is no reason to be installing 10.5 first. [/QUOTE]
