[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 999941, member: 56231"] More info please. a) what model of Mac? b) what OS version? By "stuck in a bonjouring state" do you mean the second splash screen with the progress bar part-way across the bottom? If yes, then the OS has encountered some problem, maybe corrupted, files. Either that, or you have a hard disk or boot sector problem. 20 minutes is an awfully long time. Boot your Mac from Install disk 1 (hold the C key on startup), open Disk Utility > First Aid > Verify Disk - and then repair if necessary. Reboot with the Install disk again, and from Disk Utility, Repair permissions. In fact, I'd recommend using OnyX [url=http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english/apps.html]Titanium Software[/url] to do OS maintenance regularly. I think it does a better job than the MacOS utility.
