[QUOTE="328ifun, post: 1620033, member: 337571"] Yeah, I would love to use a Disc based isntaller. But I can't even get the Optical Drive to open upon start. By using the F12 key or holding down the mouse. So thats why I have resulted to using a flash drive. Should I format the drive in Journaled using my MacPro and then see if it recognizes it with everything removed? I would also like to verify that this is a reliable computer before I start spending any sort of $ on it. I intend on trying to using the OSX versions that I have now and upon successful installtation; format and install with a fresh copy of OSX. [/QUOTE]
