[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1622228"] That may be the problem. It wasn't frozen, it was still installing. You killed it in the middle, so when you restarted, it went to the opening screen, but is confused by the existence of an account on the drive. Given that you have a backup, I'd do a new install and let it finish. That one minute prompt can take up to an hour to clear. Just let it run. You might consider reformatting the drive, if you are confident of the backup. If you have MS Office or any Abobe Creative software, you may need to install them again and re-register them. [/QUOTE]
