[QUOTE="chscag, post: 950451, member: 46727"] With the additional info you posted above, instead of using Target Disk Mode for now, try booting your machine with the original install media. Hold down the "C" key when you hear the POST chime, or you can press OPTION and select the DVD to boot from. Once booted up with the DVD, select Utilities from the top menu and then select Disk Utilities. Click the First Aid tab, and do a verify and repair. Keep doing it until all errors are gone. When that's finished, select repair permissions. The repair permissions will take awhile. Once all that's done, reboot the machine from the hard drive. Let us know. Regards. [/QUOTE]
