[QUOTE="supascoop, post: 1008104, member: 145606"] Alright, I called Apple phone support and he came up with a few solutions. I held option at startup to see if it read my installation disc, it did not. He suggested a possible cd-drive failure. So he suggested to test with another disc. I have a spare Ubuntu disc, and that showed up. The hard drive also shows up while holding option at startup. He said that it is most likely a wrong or bad install disc. Also, I found an Apple Care box that my brother had purchased with the computer. It has never been opened or registered... so hopefully this means it starts from when it's registered? I'm going to look into it but this might be good news. [/QUOTE]
