[QUOTE="David123, post: 46272"] Thank you for the responses and apologies that my post is a little confusing. I have still been unable to sort out the blue screen business with my version of os 10.2.3 so I have bought a new set of cd's: os 10.3 I am now having problems installing this new version and am starting to get paranoid that Macs just do not like me!! Error messages include: root: bootstrap_look_up(): unknown error code ERROR:Could not read archive file. - pax: invalid header ERROR:Could not write file. - pax: WARNING! These patterns were not matched and: Can't open package /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts/BaseSystem.pkg (there was an error reading the file Archive.bom) I have cleaned install cd. I have run disk utility and repaired permissions and rapaired disk (there were no errors) I have run fsck in single user (no errors) I have run Alsoft diskwarrior (no errors) So to summarise: I am trying to install os 10.3 but it keeps not completing and telling me that the install failed and to restart and try again.
