A Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor.(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)Ĭould you maybe only have a Core Duo & not a Core 2 Duo? Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.' If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.ĥ. Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.Ģ.
Tara, don't feel bad or hesitate to ask, we need this to really be able to help.
