[QUOTE="Greenmet29, post: 1439326, member: 268774"] Neither CD came with the computer, the computer came from a pawn shop and it has a password on it, so it won't let me do anything with it. I have tried to boot from the CD with the OS loaded and it asks for the password and then when I try to boot from the option menu it just freezes :\ I don't really thing that it's a hard drive problem because the computer runs fine as far as accessing the info that is on it, etc. It just won't let me install new software or anything that needs the admin password. I'm thinking about contacting Apple, but they are wanting to charge 49.00 and i'm afraid that they aren't going to be able to fix the problem and they're still going to charge me. Is there a way to test the hard drive on these computers? [/QUOTE]
