[QUOTE="Nasiso, post: 999766, member: 144019"] So, I managed to get a macbook pro as a hand-me-down laptop(Gee, aren't I lucky? At least, that's what I thought) So, a week ago, I had the idea to install Windows on my Mac to run games I couldn't off Parallels. I pop in an install disc only to have it be spit, then realize my optical drive is fried. I go down to the Mac store, fork out 250$, and get it replaced. I go back home, and then get to the running of bootcamp. Verification Failed, please use disc utility to repair. I then do that, but that doesn't work either. I checked on these forums by googling the problem, and find that I just have to put my install disc in and run disc utilities off of that. I press C while starting the Mac up, it just spits the disc right out Then, I figure out the disc is from Tiger, not Leapord, further adding to my problems and frustration. The last thing I want to do is fork out more money for an external hard drive and reformat this one. Any other suggestions? Many thanks to all suggestions sorry, wrong section >.> Can an admin move this to the right section, please? [/QUOTE]
