[QUOTE="whitts, post: 1012078, member: 144879"] Right .... final update ..... I promise Took another look and tried to boot in target mode and that just powered the mac off, looked this up and seem to point to the fact that it cannot see the disk ..... but when booting to the firmware I noticed that the date was set to 1904 .... seems like we have a duff battery. Question is ..... would this stop the mac from booting ????? I am going to order a new battery as it's only a few pounds. Also once I have replaced the battery how do I set the date and time & fingers crossed the boot order :-) Thanks for all your help [/QUOTE]
