[QUOTE="bolderboulder, post: 1023007, member: 148506"] Hi, I'm giving my macbook away, and I'm trying to erase and reinstall. My macbook is: White, 13 inch, OS X 10.4.11, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, 60 G hard drive, 1.83 GHz processor, Intel Core Duo. Here's what I've don: Put in original disk, restarted computer, holding 'C' down. Ran the disk utility for a 7 cycle erase. Success. Went on to do the install, but it stopped saying it couldn't complete the computer check, suggesting disk could be dirty or scratched. Cleaned the disk (it had no scratches), put it back in restarted holding down 'C', get gray screen with spinning gray wheel, eventually blank blue screen, then computer shuts off. Restart holding down 'D' and the hardware test comes up. Ran the check with no problems found. Restarted holding down 'C', gray screen comes up and disk gets ejected. Tried again, and made it a little further, but came up with an error that the install couldn't be completed, the reason could not be determined. Pushed restart to try one more time. Gray screen with spinning gray wheel again, blank blue screen with no cursor, had to force a quit. Ideas? This machine was working just fine up until this. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
