| I can't believe that someone demonstrating this level of detailed knowledge would think that his/her DVD is being written to.. That sounds suspicious to me. Hmmm. However assuming you have some new amazing new super hacker infection of your HDD partition that no one has ever heard of.. 1) Try booting off your MacOS Install disk & use the partitioning tools on it to nuke the partitions OR.. 2) try booting off a Knoppix or other Linux 'Live CD' & use the partitioning tools on it to nuke the partitions.. then reboot off your MacOS Install DVD & reinstall WITH THE ETHERNET CABLE UNPLUGGED. Leave the cable out until you have safely configured your Mac - Firewall on/Sharing Off etc. |
