Problem one is he did not format the harddrive as he promied
Problem two is now i can't log in to the system because i don't know his password and i am having diffuculties contacting him.
Problem three is i have tried booting from os 9.2 and a error type 11 comes up during set-up telling me to restart the machine with extentions off which i did to no avail.
Problem four is i tried booting from os 10.2 and it just crash's with white horizontal lines or just tell's me to re-start in four languages.
I have tried zapping the pram , resetting it , taking out one of my memory sticks still !!!!!!!!!! to avail
I need help despertly as i really want it to run.
