[QUOTE="MacInMass, post: 876379, member: 96107"] I'm getting rid of my eMac. I perfromed an 8 pass erase on the disk, the next phase, says "Creating Partition Map". It has been like this for 4 days! The status bar has not moved but it is twirling, the beachball is also twirling. I need know what will happen if I kill the power to the computer at this point? Or what else can I do? I'm assuming that data has already been erased at this point. I just wanted to erase the disk and reinstall the OS to give to a friend. I'm wondering if I shut down (if it lets me) what will happen when I reboot or should I just try to run the installer. Can anyone help me? It's running 10.3.9 [/QUOTE]
