Evening All Been working on a problem all day and wonder if some one might be able to point me in the right direction.
I upgraded my 2009 MBP to Lion the day it came out. Since then I've been experiencing intermittent "slowness" however over the last few days it has become unusable. I traced one issue back to AGAAdminService which is linked to Citrix however despite killing this I was still have application lockups across the board. I decided to wipe my OS X partition (the other partition being for BootCamp) and do a clean install. After moving various files that weren't backed up elsewhere (curses for Lion breaking TimeMachine to HP MediaSmartservers) I booted into Lion's recovery partition (command R) and tried to erase the partition to no avail (received File System Formatter errors); I then tried to delete the partition, this time receiving messages about not being able to unmount the volume. I eventually managed to delete the partition (infect I eventually deleted all partitions) and format a new journaled drive using my Snow Leopard install DVD. However I cannot install SL onto the drives it constantly fails with a yellow exclamation. I have tried resizing the drive down from 320gb to 310gb as a couple of forums suggested that might work but it still fails. I'm at the point of thinking there must be a fault with the HDD, DVD drive or the DVDs themselves. Has anyone come across this before or got any ideas of what I could try next?
