[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1412404, member: 131855"] If I understan correctly you are not even getting to the point where you can run Disk Utility, correct? If so here's what I would try: 1. Make sure the CD/DVD you are using is either the retail disc (white with a Snow Leopard on the front) or the same disc that came with the Mac you are trying to fix. 2. Try holding down the Option key immediately after you hear the chime. After a few seconds you should see a list of bootable drives. Use the arrows if necessary to select the CD and then press Return. Once the system boots you should be able to get to Disk Utility to format the drive. BTW are we sure that the disc drive (CD/DVD) is functioning properly? [/QUOTE]
