Nov 27th, 2007
Hi people
I have a problem with a macmini. It went down and when i tried to reboot i get the finder ?. I was running tiger. I used mostly for creative suite 2. I have
1. Zapped the pram
2. erased the volume and tried to reinstall. It all tests out fine and starts to install but when i gets down to about 25 minutes it starts to go the other direction up to around 2 hours then i get an error during installation.
3. I have ran disk warrior but it just wont reinstall. I have even gone back to the original os 10.3 which came with the computer. Is it the hardrive? Or logic board. I may try to replace the hardrive as its just a laptop hd but dont know about anything beyond that .
Thanks in advance
