[QUOTE="jpinct, post: 1189846, member: 192981"] The second software install attempt failed about halfway through. So I went into Disk Utility and erased the drive, ran disk repair again and it said things were fine. Then I tried installing the software again and the install failed again. I don't have logs because the darn thing hangs and won't let me get into the log section. I then tried running the Apple Hardware Test (thanks for reminding me) but it won't run -- I get a kernal panic message on startup while holding the "d" key down. Will it run with no software installed? If my hard drive has failed, what are my options? Obviously I don't want to put too much money into a 5 year old computer but I'd like to keep it if I can.... Thanks! Jill [/QUOTE]
