Why is it re-installing?
So I installed Mac OS X Leopard. My computer self shuts down, and it starts reinstalling the OS. Why is it doing this?
iMac G5-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
Hello, posted this once before, but got wiped out on the new forum test I guess.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
