HELP - Mac OSX reinstall won't finish installation

wanderinglight said:

I accidentally deleted some system files (I know, I know), so I had to do a reinstall of my Mac OS X software. Disk 1 was fine, no problems, but I've put in disk 2 and it gets almost all the way finished, then hangs up around the "running iWeb application installer script" part -- it says there are only about 2 minutes remaining on the install (the bar says "finishing installation") but it won't complete.

It's been hanging here for about 20 minutes. I ended up shutting down the computer, ejected the CD and tried it again, same problem. It gets stuck at this point.

What can I do? I'm desperate -- leaving on a business trip early in the a.m. and need to resolve this tonight one way or the other.

Is there a way I can just restart the computer without it prompting for the second disk?

Please help me with this dire emergency!

thanks for the info,

Any ideas on how to get disc 2 out of the computer. I have tried the eject button, and it makes noises as if it's going to eject the disc but... nothing.

I will have to call, I think our computer is an '06, so we will see if we can get a replacement disc.

thanks again for the help.
