viktor_haagWell, my home computer is almost certainly bricked at this point. Repeated attempts to install from the Leopard DVD have met with no success. I suppose there is a chance that my Leopard DVD has become hosed so, I suppose step one is to get a replacement disc and try it with that. If that doesn't work, then it's off to the repairshop with the desktop, fingers crossed that the problem is a faulty DVD drive or controller (in short, something which is replaceable at not hideous expense). The sadness of this tale is, of course, that all this happens a month after the Applecare extended warranty has passed. Bastards.
I strongly suspect the DVD drive for two reasons:
- the Leopard media successfully installed on my work machine not 12 hours previously
- the home computer seemed to operate with nothing much in the way of problems for the past two years (since the warranty repair on the factory hard-drive fault)
I hope that it really is just a bad Leopard disc, but I fear that it's more likely that my computer has a hardware problem of some kind. I just hope it's not expensive, now that it'll be on my dime.
