I feel your pain bro! Hang in there. Unfortunately I'm not that familiar with Macs. I'd help you out if I knew how. It's true though, 150 gigs is quite low these days.

I suggest you buy another hard drive and install the fresh system on it. Use that one as "master" only for the system and program installations, no personal files or files you're working on. After that you connect the old one as a "slave" hard drive and it will be visible under a different drive letter. I am not sure if this looks the same on MAC but I believe very similar as on PC. Back-up your data from the old drive on some DVDs and delete everything from it. Then you can use that one for all your projects and personal documents while keeping your system drive secured and clean of anything unnecessary.
I hope this helps. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

Monte, not sure on a mac but try to get the system in safe mode. As it's trying to boot, hit F10 and see if it takes you there. If you can get to safe mode, you cam restore the system to a point before the install and all should be fine.
Looks like it won't be that simple..  Try this link and see if any of these steps will help...http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1411 This post has been edited by skennington: Apr 4 2009, 07:46 PM |

A couple of things that may help Monte...
When you reinstall your OSD make sure you upgrade to at least 10.4.9 - Logic 8 needs 10.4.9 or later. If you're not up to to date could be a good time to go to 10.5.X .The main Logic prog is about 7GB - it's the additional packs that add an extra 39GB to the required file space. With these extra ones you should get an option as to i) whether you want to install and ii) where you install. I think it is only the main prog that has to sit on the Op system disc. As others have said it's a good opportunity to install a new second HD that you can use for your recordings and maybe even a third to stream samples from. Pare back what is on the system disc maybe to only the OS and Logic and put the kids' software on a different disc. If you can once you have a clean running system burn a Ghost image (or similar - I think the Apple equivalent is called something like Carbon Copy) that you can use to recover from in future. A Ghost ISO image would include OS, drivers, etc. If it's Logic pro you need a G5 or better to run. For other versions of Logic 8 you need at least a 1.25 G4. Also the recommendation is at least 1GB of RAM - preferably 2. The crashing - assuming it's only happened since Logic went down I think you may have a corrupt boot sector - and a clean OS install should sort this out. Rather sadly if you could bring up the error console you could find out but as it won't even boot . Be aware that a lot of power cycle crashes are caused by faulty hardware - RAM, HD etc. Try the new OS install but if you are still getting problems then it may well be hardware...

Have you emptied your garbage can? on the low right? Have you once made a TimeMachine point so you can set your Mac back in time?
