I try to boot under install DVD to run diskUtil on my internal HD
Although the DVD is seen as booting source, it will never complete the boot and hangs in grey + apple. DVD spins then falls asleep forever.
The same when I boot from a full copy of the DVD on a FiWi external HD (used to boot, I installed a computer that way)
Apparently my mac does not allow booting on external source anymore!!!
I zapped the PRAM and did a safe mode startup before trying again .. no better
As I canot boot, the option of clean install is not available.
I still need to try shared/netboot and FiWi mode diskutil from other laptop but no much hope there.
Any idea?
Thanks
