Hi All, Need help with the "Archive and install". My Macbook Pro is very slow. Tried all the disk repair etc. Nothing worked. So I have decided to do the Archive and Reinstall. l am getting the below error. Full error in the attachment.. I have got around 85 GB freespace in the Macbook pro. file://localhost/System/Installation/Packages/X11User.pkg (92008448 b) Jan 3 00:12:58 localhost OSInstaller[140]: PK will install package file://localhost/System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.pkg (0 b) Jan 3 00:12:58 localhost OSInstaller[140]: Total install size including padding: 7735517184 b Jan 3 00:12:59 localhost OSInstaller[140]: Starting installation: Jan 3 00:12:59 localhost OSInstaller[140]: Calculating expected install size requirements Jan 3 00:12:59 localhost Unknown[80]: 2001-01-03 00:12:59.322 Mac OS X Installer[140:c603] Looking for system packages Jan 3 00:13:01 localhost Unknown[80]: 2001-01-03 00:13:01.395 Mac OS X Installer[140:c603] Finding system files...

10.6 does not have an option to do an "Archive and Install". That's gone now. Here's the important part from the log: Code: Jan 3 00:18:05 localhost ReportCrash[156]: Thread 10 Crashed: Jan 3 00:18:05 localhost ReportCrash[156]: 0 com.apple.bom 0x0000000101d26deb BOMStreamReadUInt32 + 104 Jan 3 00:18:05 localhost ReportCrash[156]: 1 com.apple.bom 0x0000000101d218d3 _tocGet + 128 Jan 3 00:18:05 localhost ReportCrash[156]: 2 com.apple.bom 0x0000000101d0dfaf BOMBomOpen + 88 Jan 3 00:18:05 localhost ReportCrash[156]: 3 com.apple.PackageKit 0x0000000101d63553 -[PKBOM initWithBOMPath:] + 139 Jan 3 00:18:05 localhost ReportCrash[156]: 4 com.apple.PackageKit 0x0000000101d703c9 -[PKReceipt(Private) _BOM] + 97 Jan 3 00:18:05 localhost ReportCrash[156]: 5 com.apple.PackageKit 0x0000000101d6ff6a -[PKReceipt(Private) _directoryEnumerator] + 16 Jan 3 00:18:05 localhost ReportCrash[156]: 6 com.apple.SystemMigration 0x0000000101e18c95 -[SMFindSystemFiles _findSystemPaths] + 1700 Jan 3 00:18:05 localhost ReportCrash[156]: 7 com.apple.SystemMigration 0x0000000101e19180 -[SMFindSystemFiles systemPaths] + 700 Jan 3 00:18:05 localhost ReportCrash[156]: 8 com.apple.SystemMigration 0x0000000101e1ac4a -[SMPathAnalyzer prunedSystemPathsReturningSize:] + 197 Jan 3 00:18:05 localhost ReportCrash[156]: 9 com.apple.SystemMigration 0x0000000101e1b08d -[SMPathAnalyzer prunedReaperPathsReturningSize:] + 54 Jan 3 00:18:05 localhost ReportCrash[156]: 10 com.apple.osinstallframework 0x0000000100028b96 -[IFDiskObject(OSExtensions) calculateReapedFreeSpace] + 386 Jan 3 00:18:05 localhost ReportCrash[156]: 11 com.apple.osinstallframework 0x000000010002dbc8 -[OSPreInstallSizingQueueElement _calculateReapedFreeSpaceThread] + 64 Jan 3 00:18:05 localhost ReportCrash[156]: 12 com.apple.Foundation 0x00000001008e9ea9 __NSThread__main__ + 1429 Jan 3 00:18:05 localhost ReportCrash[156]: 13 libSystem.B.dylib 0x0000000100367456 _pthread_start + 331 Jan 3 00:18:05 localhost ReportCrash[156]: 14 libSystem.B.dylib 0x0000000100367309 thread_start + 13 Ultimately, it says the installer crashed trying to read a BOM, which isn't a definitive answer. It could be bad RAM, bad hard drive, bad optical drive, bad disk, bad cables, corrupt directory structure, etc... We don't know at this point. You said your system has been really slow, so I'd start with suspecting a bad hard drive, and therefore if you have any important data on the drive that you haven't backed up, doing an OS reinstall is the *last* thing you'd want to do.
Hi Detrius: Thanks for looking into this and your advice. As you have suggested I am going to the back up of the data. I will then take it to Apple for the appropriate repair/service. *******************************************************
I got the "4hdd/11/40000004:SATA(0,0)" error when i did the hardware test. Is it the Hard drive failure error?
I haven't run AHT since the PowerPC days, but that does look like it's claiming the hard drive failed its test.
