Give this a try bgardner
Go to disk utility in your Utility folder. Repair permissions,Boot from CD by holding the C key down. After it boot's,go up too the Installer Menu to Disk Utility and Repair Disk with that. Boot normally when done,now try it again. This post has been edited by R4d30N: Dec 9 2005, 01:04 PM |
