Forum rules


Before you post, please make sure...

- ...your topic is related to betas or abandonware. If it is not, don't post it here. Better help sites exist else where.
- ...you have first used Google to look for an answer, and you have asked other people you know via other methods (IM, e-mail, etc).
- ...your question has not been asked before. Search the forum first before posting.

If you meet those criteria, go ahead and post your question. Be sure to provide as much information you can about the problem and how to recreate it. Also provide information on hardware and software if applicable.

and just shuts down.
I inserted Snow Leopard disk,
it showed apple logo,
Nothing happened for a long time.
It's Mac Mini Core i5 2.3GHz with 8GB RAM.
Is there any solution?

SOLUTION:
Press OPTION+COMMAND+R when it boots up. Sadly, it took me 5 hrs to download :(

Looks like you have the "Still waiting for root device" error. Boot in verbose mode by holding Cmd+V when turning on your Mac, and wait 10 minutes, then tell what was the last output line you saw.
