Hi Christine, I would be sure that the disk is oriented properly, and try the whole process again. I don't know if your MacBook is a slot loader or not? My MacBook Pro is, and I just push gently until the machine takes the disk in. How old is your machine? If it's not terribly new some kind of weird hardware defect may have cropped up, though I still think that rather unlikely. All the best, Zack. On May 3, 2011, at 4:22 PM, Christine Grassman wrote:
