Corrupted Mac OS X Install disk?
I have an early 2010 MacBook which came with Snow Leopard. I had trouble with the permissions for quite awhile; every time I did a software update I would have trouble booting up and would get stuck on the start up screen. Disk Utility and fsck sometimes helped. Last week I could not get anything to work and could not boot it up at all so I took it to the Geniuses at my Mac Store and they said the HD was fine, but obv the software had issues so they did a free Archive & Install. Everything was fine after that.
Then I bought a new HD to use as a back up, and after I got home I realized it was bigger and faster than the one already in my MacBook so I decided to switch them out. Then I installed Snow Leopard from my Mac OS X Install disk onto the new HD. Now I have software issues and permissions issues again. When I do Disk Utility and try to repair permissions it just keeps saying the same permissions are corrupted over and over, and tells me that some of them will not be repaired.
Does this mean that my Mac OSX Install disk is corrupted? How would I go about getting a new one so I can start over clean again without problems? If I take my MacBook back to the Geniuses, I don't know if they will do an A&I for free again, and also, if I ever need the OS X Install disk for future, I'd like to have one that's not faulty.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
