I wish to thank you for advice I spent all day checking drivers and the monitor driver was not installed, through applejack I found that startup had been affected by deleted files or drivers on the SATA drive, I was able to fix the 'Grey Pixelitus' with an updated monitor installment and reinstalled OSX and upgrades on the SATA but saving the Docs and stuff, thanks heaps On Wednesday, April 22, 2009, at 11:00AM, "Harry A Freeman" <gifutiger at gmail.com> wrote: >Greeting Umar ( + )!( + ) > >Did you do all of the "OSX Software Updates" before doing anything else? >If not then you should reinstall and do updates. > >If you are using a PCI card that lets you access SATA drives then >there is a driver that you need to install into the OSX data base >before you can access the drives.
