Hi Joe, Thanks very much for the answer. In my case it looks like I'm sorry I woke you up. I tried the most recent 2009 CD as well as the 2007 CD I built the machine with the first time. Looks like this Mac Mini has gone down hard - bad disk at least, possibly bad memory. I'm not sure it's worth my effort to fix it as it's so very slow. Anyway, I appreciate the answer and wish you all the best. Thanks for your efforts. Cheers, Mark
