Thanks for staying with me! I've done the reinstallation of the HD giving the system partition 7.5gigs. I also raised the throatle of XPF to 24. Put in the 10.2CD and it opens showing all the files, the install logo etc (Would this not mean that the CD-rom is working and reading the CD?). Ran XPF, the gray Apple logo appears, then same coding that ran the first time (see earlier email "XPF HELP!") appears on a black screen again followed by the "multimedia failed", then the "waiting for root device". Since I've made all the changes suggested, perhaps I should focus on the CD-rom; is there a way to do a diagnostic of the CD-rom? Its a Yamaha, driver version 5.0.2. It was mentioned that it was possible that 10 is picky about CD-roms and compatibility issues? Any other helpful suggestions out there???
