A new twist to my first problem. I can't get Disk Utility to do a Restore on

I have reinstalled Leopard four times from two different Retail
installers. Where do I find the helper tool?
Is this what you need?

Why don't you try memtest with just one memory module installed at a
time.
That way if they all pass you can then move them from one slot at a
time to the next slot and run memtest again.
Troubleshooting needs to be taken

For a totally striped down system it's probably OK. I once had Tiger

Hi,
Disk Utility finished checking my big disk from my Panther partition.
I don't know how long it took - I left my computer on all night - but
it finished all right and found no problems.
Thank you. Regards, Jörg.

Hi,
I tried to check using the Apple Disk Utility if my new internal 1TB
hard disk (SATA with SATA to ATA adapter connected to the 100 ATA bus
on my MDD G4) is solid but it takes ages, seems like Disk Utility is
stuck somewhere. Same thing in Tiger as it is in Panther ...
Is there a capacity

The 10.5 Disk Utility has no problems with 1 TB drives. I have not
tested it with 1.5 TB, but I expect it will work as 1 and 1.5 TB

The 10.4 Disk Utility works to at least 500 GB, which is the largest

it has not been increased to 1 TB and 1.5 TB as these are different

Another possibility is that the bridge jumper is set to the size
limiter setting. Check that before doing anything else. If the jumper
is set to the limit setting, the full capacity of the drive will not
show up with any utility program.
