I used it last night when did all the backup restore and that... and put in sleep when went to sleep...

Today I restart it and it stops at the gray window as said before... ufff...

Not luck y with this Leopard...

Having read that Clean Install is the best option for installing Leopard, can I do the following ?

- Choose Archive & Install when installing Leopard so that all my files and settings are backed up.

- Restart the installation process and do a Clean Install.

- After installation, retrieve the files and settings from Archive ?


Normally, when I have to reinstall Tiger, I copy my /~user/ folder to my back up drive and after clean installation of Tiger, I have to go through the painful process of setting up everything again like importing mail, address book, ical etc. Can Archive & Install on Leopard ease this ?

Thanks in advance.

I did all the backup and a clean install.... so what can it be then?

Stop Stuffing around and call 133622. or take it back to the Apple shop you got it from.

i got it from apple store...

i just spoke for about half and hour with apple tech support and made me doing all i have already done and at the end they will send me a new dvd...

Excellent. There should be now only two possibilities.

1. The new disc will work, which means the old one was stuffed, and you will be able to get into the Leopard experience at last.

or

2. The new disc will provide the same result, meaning the hardware is at fault.

I think I can safely say that all here have our fingers crossed for the disc being the issue.


Good luck!
