[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1641909, member: 175845"] I guess you're going to call that MB Pro "Lucky" from your description. ;) And BTW, even a 3x secure erase is normally overkill, and with OS X SL 10.6.8, you'll be lucky to get your permission repairs down to a small number, or with any later OS X version will they ever be down close to zero for normal users. Don't worry about them too much. ;) And you don't need to run [B]Disk Utility[/B] using the OS X install disk: [url=http://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201560]About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature - Apple Support[/url] The disk or manufacturer's name is the name of the drive and the name(s) below are just the formatted or partitioned volume names. You can choose either with just a single volume and they're the same thing as far as Disk Utility is concerned. [/QUOTE]
