[QUOTE="ChickieBell, post: 855136, member: 103665"] [b]Is Hardware Test a clue?[/b] When I use the restore disks I have and hold down the D key, the Hardware Test does run. Does this mean I for sure have the right set of disks? I downloaded mactracker after a kind forum user posted the link to it for me and then tried to read everything I could and according to it, some of the computers of my EMC 2118 came with 10.4.7 (8K1106) and some with 10.4.8 (8N1430). On mactracker, it says that my computer is AHT111 and these install disks say AHT112 - BUT on mactracker it also "skips" over AHT112 completely. By that I mean that they show the prior model with AHT111 and the next model with AHT113. They don't list any model with AHT112. Thanks again for taking your time to try to help me solve this problem. [/QUOTE]
