My early 2009 Mini kept shutting down randomly, trying to reload Snow Leopard so I can donate to a local charity.
My early 2009 Mini kept shutting down randomly, so I bought a new iMac. I tried to reload Snow Leopard and erase the old data at the same time, but the process goes only so long and stops. Internal drive also doesn't work, so I'm trying to boot from an external drive. I also tried to load the original OS from the disk, but all I get is the Apple logo and spinning wheel. Would you think bad hard drive or other problem?
Thanks.
Mac mini (Early 2009), Mac OS X (10.6.3)
