[QUOTE="llanos20, post: 1027288, member: 87903"] OK i did a clean install by hooking up the 15" via firewire to the 12" and running disk utility off the 12" while the install disk was in the 15" and both devices showed up so i was able to copy the image and setup/install everything fine on the 15" HOWEVER if i opened disk utility on the 15" and checked the disk (before the fresh install) i'd get the errors from there. one minute it'd give me an error but not say WHAT it was. it was just like...an underlying task...but there was physically no error posted, no b tree node, no invalid -whatever, NOTHING. but there was an error. BUT when i ran disk utility (before the install) through firewire, the DU on the 12" would tell me that the disk for the 15" was OKAY. ran every test possible to the 15" through the 12" and everything was fine. SO, i did the clean install, zero'd the drive (again) and all that but the problem still remains....it hangs on the apple and spinning gear so now what?? I can still boot off the disk but it wont boot off the HD even with the clean install. even on the 12" it'll tell me that the disk has 10.4 on it. i fixed the permissions and even ran fsck_hfs, -y, all that. booted in Single user mode, Verbose Mode however said something like: creating RAM disk for /var/volume creating RAM disk for /var/tmp Creating RAM disk for /var/run APR 1 11:54:45 localhost DirectoryService[38]: CNet InfoPlugin: : Initialize - notify_get_state failed over last minute (Status - 1) repeat 5x then says Apr 1 11:57:45 localhost memberd[34]: Couldnt find root user. Sleeping and trying again. (and repeats that 5 times) before going back to the first message and those two messages keep repeating down the screen WHAT does this mean?? What next?? can someone tell me the proper steps to installing cause what i did in disk utility was drag the HD image to "destination" and the install disk image to "restore" (i think it was) and started up the installation, after i zero'd out the drive and checked the drive on the DU on the 12" to make sure it was okay because the DU on the 15" kept giving me mixed answers. sometimes it'd mount, other times it didnt. one time it'd say disk is ok, then it would have an error. one error said b tree node, the other said sibling link...i'm getting frustrated. :Shouting: [/QUOTE]
