Can't Boot From Techtool Deluxe CD
by Stu Siegal (StuS57) on Jul 15, 2008 at 7:48:39 pm

Hi,

Want to run Disc Utility, can't seem to get my Quad Core to boot from the techtool Deluxe cd that came with my applecare plan, which is now expired. Every time I try, either by holding the c key, or by going to sys prefs and setting the techtool cd as the startup, it freezes on the gray apple screen after a restart.

Right before the freeze, I get a small line of weird colored pixels above the apple logo, and then a freeze, and eventually the fan goes crazy. Using Tiger 10.4.11. Just trying to repair a what the disc utility calls a minor problem on the HD, but in general the unit is running fine and passes all the techtool tests.

Thanks,

Stu
