[QUOTE="chscag, post: 876407, member: 46727"] Why would you perform an 8 pass erase in the first place? Did your eMac have atomic secrets on it? A one pass secure erase is sufficient even for sensitive data like credit card numbers, SSAN, personal info, etc. As for the partition map creation being stuck, power down and reboot with your install media again. Run Disk Utility and verify the hard drive to make sure it's OK. Then format the HDD and install OS X. Regards. [/QUOTE]
