No Longer Any OS in my Macbook Pro

sdb · 10-11-2009, 05:07 AM

just bought a used macbook pro
wanted reformat and install leopard

erased hard drive with disc utility
and began installation

it hanged at 11 more minutes remaining and never moved forward and i gave it a long time to do so

finally had no choice but to stop it and of course now there is no system in it
is there any way i can just reinstall leopard now, or what do i do next?

this was the error i got in the log file that i opened while it was hanging:

125 oct 11 02;51:03 localhost osinstaller(133): AGetDYLDEntry/point WithImage(/system/library/privateframeworks/shortcut.framework/versions/a/shortcut,SCTInitShortcut) failed

Been saying that in the log file each minute for the past 35 mins or so…..until i finally quit and no, didnt quite too soon, it wasnt d doing anything

You booted it from the OS install DVD and while installing it hung?

yes, that is what happened.although i hav since put it back in and it does, after a few minutes start to finish the reinstall but the same thing happens at 11 minutes remaining.....

in any event, im stumped and going to try a different dvd, as i am wondering if there is something wrong with this one.........thats all i can think of trying at this point

Are you sure it's the right DVD for the hardware?
