[QUOTE="jh87, post: 1314190, member: 20550"] Hi Shanlon - thanks for replying! Yes, it's the retail disk, purchased straight from Apple. I've actually tried doing the custom install (unchecking all the boxes I could) before and after partitioning. Both times, it just reduced the initial install time, but ultimately stalled and gave me that same message that it could not copy all the files. I also just tried doing a safe boot and resetting the nvram/pram (as instructed on the apple website), but that didn't seem to do anything either. I think I'm going to try to go find that original os install disk that came with my mac. Maybe it'll help? I've never had any other issues with my mac, except for the battery, which needs to be plugged in to an outlet at all times - otherwise it'll power off immediately. Thanks for your help, and any further advice would be very much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
