Explain where the HDD is located. Did it replace the original HDD? Are you booting the machine with the install disc that came with it? Have you formatted and partitioned the HDD properly with Disk Utility? Tell us what you did using what. The *Looking for system packages* message usually only comes up when you're trying to install subcomponents and not the OS.

Hi all, Just recently I purchased a MacBook from Macofalltrades. It came with Leopard, so I went out to Best Buy to buy the Snow Leopard OS. I was upgrading with Software Update and I accidentally shut the system down while the update was just finishing (like 99.7%). So when I went to turn my Mac back on it stalled at the grey screen, http://www.mac-forums.com/showthread.php?t=214676 no Apple logo, no scroll wheel thingy. I tried repairing, fixing permissions, and whatever else you can do to a hard drive in disk utility. Finally, I erased and repartitioned and the Install still wouldn't go through. So I'm wondering if I shutdown during some sort of firmware update or if the hdd that Macofalltrades just failed. I also tried the firmware recovery route, but I'm pretty sure I'm not doing it right or it's just not working... idk Some of the errors I get when I try to install SL are: Looking for system packages no system packages found No or Invalid system receipts found on /Volumes/Untitled Finding system files... Writing system path cache. Error writing cache... I've also tried PRAM and NVRAM resets. And switching out the RAM. Help?

I assume you can boot from the install DVDs? I suggest running the Apple Hardware Test and check everything out thoroughly. You'll need the original gray install discs that shipped with that computer originally. Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test Also run Disk Utility from the install disc and run the "Verify Disk" option. Let us know the results. BTW… whe

disk. Permissions on System files or folders. System, Application, or User-specific cache files. This FAQ, derived from our book, Troubleshooting Mac OS X, will help you to address these issues under the following versions of Mac OS X: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar. Potential causes The following are potential causes of disk, permission, or cache corruption. System or application crashes. Hard restarts: restarting a frozen or hung system via the power button. Power outages. Bad sectors on your Mac OS X startup disk. Defective or failing hard drives. Application installers which have improperly reset System-related permissions. Risk of data loss Hard drive failures, bad sectors, and directory corruption are serious problems as these can result in data loss. If you value your data, you have implemented a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution and use it regularly, preferably backing up everything on a daily basis. This practice should significantly minimize the potential for data loss to new data or changes to existing data since the last backup was performed. While Disk Utility or third-party disk utilities can usually correct directory corruption, they cannot repair corrupted files. While directory corruption does not necessarily result in file corruption, certain types of directory corruption, such as overlapped files or extents, can result in file corruption and hence data loss. Likewise, data saved on an area of the hard drive that develops bad sectors will be irretrievably corrupted and unrecoverable. While generally rare, bad sectors can develop on a hard drive at any time. For additional details, see the "Bad sectors" section later in this FAQ. While Disk Utility and third-party disk utilities can be useful in helping to correct directory corruption or address bad sectors, you should consult the precautions cited in the section "Using disk u
