[QUOTE="Dave_R, post: 1796763, member: 262783"] Well, I did call Apple and we went through everything that has been talked about here. The disk I had bought from Apple is the correct one so should not be a problem. Theoretically it should install on my MacBook. Eventually the advisor suggested a remote boot from my iMac via Firewire. So did that both to a second partition and also to a completely erased disk with a single partition. In both cases, SL seemed to install quite normally and was quite accessable from the host. However, in both cases, after closing both computers down & disconnecting the cable, restarting the MacBook directly wouldn’t work. The pale grey screen with the Apple logo came up, but there it stopped. No small circle of flashing lines – no nothing. Same thing happens when restarting with OPT held down. Target disk appears as the option but ater choosing it, same result as before. I haven’t recontacted Apple yet but feel it’s a hopeless case. [/QUOTE]
