[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 600628"] Welcome to Mac-Forums, sandy. Can you try booting from the Leopard install disk to reinstall Leopard but first zeroing all the data on the internal hard drive from Disk Utility? Start up just like you were going to reinstall but check out the menubar at the top: you should see Disk Utility there somewhere and you can ask to erase the hard drive but chose the Security Options, I think to access the zero data setting. Also, before reinstalling anything, make sure you unplug all unnecessary peripherals. Note that this install method will erase all personal data from your hard drive. [/QUOTE]
