Ok, this seems crazy to me. To someone out there it may make perfect sense. I have had big problems with my Quicksilver 2002 933Mhz for awhile. As the result of trying to salvage some life out of it because I need it and can't afford a new one, at the same time trying to save files I need, I've installed a larger HD, cloned the contents of the original HD onto the larger one and have been using the larger one to operate. I downloaded the 10.5.7 upgrade and installed it on the larger HD, which had been 10.5.6. 10.5.6 remains on the smaller, original HD.
After installing 10.5.7, it has been looping the startup process from blue screen to all apps, files, etc., i.e., working mode. After approx. 1 minute in that mode it goes to blue screen, then back. On advice from Kris Tilford I did a Safe Boot. No good, same thing, except it looped to the Safe Boot screen over and over. I zapped the pram, and thought that did the job because the loop stopped. But it didn't, it just started from 10.5.6. I thought maybe I'd made a mistake and restarted from the wrong drive somehow from something I'd done, but then did it again from startup disc in prefs, making sure to choose the proper volume, the one with 10.5.7 and same exactly the same thing happened. What the bleep is going on here? Anybody know? Thanks.
