I basically did the same thing (with the same model computer) as the previous poster.

My problem is:
When I try to use Darik's Boot and Nuke, the laptop shuts down completely while trying to wipe the drive. The same thing happened when I try to use the System Restore disks, the whole computer would shut down after I inserted Disk 3.

I tried some different configurations, but it still shuts down. Note that it does start to wipe the drive (I get to the blue screen where it says "time remaining" with other info) It just never finishes.

Any ideas on what might me causing this and if it can be helped? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
