[QUOTE="6string, post: 1126597, member: 120039"] In target disk mode, I would erase your HD (zero out), and then follow the methods in this blog to reinstall. [url=http://blog.turnthescrew.com/2009/06/reinstalling-mac-os-x-without-a-dvd-drive-target-disk-mode/]Reinstalling Mac OS X without a DVD Drive - Target Disk Mode | Dan Taylor[/url] I don't know if this will work.... but it really sounds like this Mac that your "friend" gave you is a mess, so you may as well keep trying. Personally, I would probably also try swapping out the RAM and see if that helps with the installation process, or even just giving back the Mac, and saying thanks, but no thanks :) [/QUOTE]
