Archive And Install Failed Mac

I could use some help solving a tricky problem. Please redirect me if I am posting this to the wrong forum.

My MacBook was having difficulty staying asleep. If I select sleep or close the lid, within a few seconds it makes a sound like it is testing the disk drive and wakes up. Oddly doesn't seem to happen as quickly if it just falls asleep from prolonged inactivity. This was causing severe battery drain so, unable to solve the issue on my own, I made an appointment with my local Genius at the Apple Store. He told me I needed to do an Archive and Install, which he proceeded to try and do, but couldn't get the drive to accept the new OS. He therefore diagnosed me with a dying hard drive and told me I needed a new one.

I groaned a bit since they seem to tell me this every 2 years or so, so they kindly offered to do this one for free. I took the new machine home today and used Time Machine to restore my old settings/software. Unfortunately the problem was still there.

However, this got me thinking. I have two backup clone drives with SuperDuper. One is current and regularly. The other I made 2 years ago shortly after we last replaced the hard drive and never touched. (Paranoid, I know.) When I boot from the current clone, the problem recurs but, if I boot from the earlier clone, the problem is no longer there. Das Xentry Key Generator more. Clearly, I think, a software issue.

Happy, at least, that I did not pay for the new hard drive, I thought I might Archive and Install from my original 10.2 disks. Unfortunately I cannot get the system to boot from them. Jose Saramago Blindness Ebook Pdf Torrent there.

I held down 'C' on start up, but it still started from the HD. I clicked on the 'Install' icon from the CD, but the restart again used the HD. I tried to select the CD as a Startup Drive in the System Preferences panel but the CD doesn't show up as an option. I would be grateful for any ideas. Sorry about the length.

That's disappointing. The behavior of the never-updated clone seems significant - if it were really still OK, as seemed the case earlier, then that would still suggest a software or setting issue. But since the sleep problem has developed only recently, and yet you now find that it is still present when you boot from a clone that has not been updated for years, it is hard for me to think of anything other than a hardware issue. I think at this point that I can only suggest that you again bring your MB to an Apple facility and have them look at it. Others here likely have more ideas - for the best responses you should start a new thread with an appropriate title, perhaps in the MacBook forum. Sep 16, 2010 5:34 PM.
