I agree, but I'll add this: innocentrichie wrote: 1 - When i click on erase i get this error, it erases .. but i cant go further frm this step This is a very unclear description. What precisely happened? Did the erase operation appear to complete without errors, or was there an indication of problems? If so, what? (An exact quote of the error message is important!) In what way could you not proceed from there? That is, did the volume you erased not appear in the list of possible OS installation targets, did it appear but it was marked as uninstallable, etc.? Another point: It's important to know how your disk is partitioned and formatted. Are you using MBR, GPT, or a hybrid configuration? (If you don't know, do some Googling to learn what I mean.) How many other partitions do you have, where are they relative to your target OS X partition, how are they formatted (NTFS, FAT, ext3, etc.), and (if you're using MBR) are they primary or logical partitions? If you're using MBR, is your target OS X volume primary or logical? It would be helpful to obtain a text-mode partition list (from a utility like fdisk -- tools of this name come with Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and other OSs; they're very different from each other, but they can all display partition information). My own suspicion is that there's something about your partitioning setup that's blocking the installation; however, it could be a hardware issue, too. (verdant's reply emphasizes the possibility of hardware problems.)
