pput disc in restarted computer but screen disc been whirring over an hour now is this normal?
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
No. It's not normal.
Does the Snow Leopard disk show on the Desktop after you put it in the drive?
Have you opened that icon and started the installer?
YYes started installer just got light colour screen with apple symble with little whirring disc under it been going about an hour now.
Look under the Apple menu (upper left of the screen) and report what it says "About This Mac".
CCan't get into any screen just stuck on screen I just mentioned. But I have installed 2g ram.
Press and hold the power button to shutdown and then restart it.
RRestarted gone back to original screen.
Let's try a different way.
Shut down the machine and restart it while holding down the c key to boot from the Snow Leopard DVD.
Under its menu you can choose Disk Utility. Open it and tell us more about your internal drive.
JJust started in same screen
What type of computer do you have (Macbook, iMac.....)? What are you trying to do? Upgrade your OS? What version of the OS are you using now?
TThanks a million for all your assistance after going through the install umpteen times it started working and the computer now tells me it is installing. No idea what the problem was (s**t ) on me lazer or some other problem. But all seems well now. Thanks again!
kind regards John
