[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 142659, member: 2960"] What sort of problems was he having? A complete erase and reinstall is the absolute LAST thing you should try. That slash and burn route is more of a Windows type repair, hehe :). Does it boot up now, or have you already erased the drive? If it boots up normally right now, the first thing you might try is a permissions repair. Go to Applications>Utillities>Disk Utility. Choose the HD from the left hand column and choose "Repair Permissions" You can also boot from the OS CD. Restart the Mac with the CD in the drive, and hold down the "C" key until the machine boots. Then you can access Disk Utility and run a Disk Repair. If you have already erased the drive, then boot from the CD and try reinstalling it again, but see if you can do the Archive and Install option. Without more details on what was wrong, it is really hard to offer any other options, but if you can list some of the things that were/are happening we can probably help a lot more. :black: [/QUOTE]
