  1. Wow but you guys are so supportive! For the record I did just run "Install Extra"; I duped my MBP drive to an external drive and tried GUID & MBR SOLUTIONS to no avail. But, the Single User Mode route seems to have done the trick: hooray! Thank you all so much for your help! x S
  2. Thank you SO much for that link iMick. I'm afraid it didn't help though: my MBP is running Snow Leopard & refuses to boot from the latest Install DVD I have, which is Leopard. Do you think if I bought Mountain Lion and just updated the OS my problem would go away? Thanks again, x S
  3. Hi all I forgot (doh!) the password to my old Dell 620 and, after failing all afternoon to rescue it, thought it might be fun to have a go at turning it into a Mac. So, following the online instructions, it started well until, in MyHack, I misread '/' as just something to click on to get to the preference to install onto my 8GB flash drive. Doh! (2) as with a couple of more clicks I'd installed Extra onto my MBP. Easily remedied, I thought as I deleted the Extras folder. But no: now if I close the lid to use the external monitor the Mac just shuts down. And needs lost of prodding to reboot after that. And prompts a system warning that I've shut down because of a problem, and would I like to send a report to Apple ... kernel panics. Eeech! If I try to do a restart - s.a. after lots of preference repairs - it also shuts down with the same issues. Am I the only idiot to have done this (probably!)? Is there a solution (hopefully!)? Please help if you have any ideas. x S
