Trying to reinstall OSX Snow Leopard onto Mac mini server from original start-up disk and it gets to welcome screen but goes no further. The buttons are both grayed out and unselectable and the little grey wheel spins.
Did a fresh install by pressing C on restart but it did exactly the same with fresh OSX install.
Help!
'C' key doesn't always work. You need to try the Option key on a wired keyboard.
If it loads the CD, but can't see the hard drive, then the hard drive may have failed. Note, Mac OS X 10.13 or later reformats hard drives differently, especially if they are solid state. You also mentioned "Server." I am uncertain if the server editions of the Mini can take discs that don't say Server on them.
I would double check on the server forum.
