Blue Screen of Death
Let's see I thought this was going to be relatively easy.
. Ok, so I started out on my Intel Dual 2 GHZ doing an upgrade of Lepoard install. I began by using Disk Utility verified that my start-up disk was Ok. Did the upgrade got a check mark at the end and thought I was all set. Go to reboot and initially it looks good I get the Apple at startup, then spinning wheel, then the Blue screen it tries a couple of times changes colors slightly but then just sits there and I don't hear the drive moving or see any change.
So I start troubleshooting and I don't think I am particularly brilliant at this but I do what I think will get me going intially. I have a 30 Gig partition for what used to be Boot Camp and I erase that and do a fresh install of Leopard. So this works and I am currently surfing the internet as a result and trying to figure out how I get past the blue screen of death in my main partition. I observed someone's post who thought the problem might be library/preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist so I try saving that first to the desktop and then trashing and erasing the original file and then using the startup disk and trying to set the system disk to the larger petition or the upgraded version. No luck. So I am slightly or definitedly stuck and could use suggestions, prayers, whatever. Thank you in advance.
