[QUOTE="chrisbingo, post: 997022, member: 143418"] Hi The reason I zeroeod the drive was because if it was a bad sector(s) then they would be rendered out of action for a clean install. I have had the imac open and cleaned it out I also removed the hdd to do a scan with spinrite everything is a ok no bad sectors. I am not sure whether if a boot into single user mode will cause it to freeze haven't tried that yet. Thanks so far. Chris [/QUOTE]
