![]() To diagnose the problem, I tried other startup discs, including my retail Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard install disc. However, the boot still hangs at the grey Apple logo. To boot from the install disc, I also tried (1) holding down the Alt key during boot to choose the disc, and (2) using System Preferences to set the disc as the startup disc. ![]() After a few minutes, I can hear the disc SPIN DOWN, and the machine still sits at the Apple logo after more than 40 minutes. However, the computer hangs at that step, there was no grey spinning wheel and the installer never starts. The disc can be heard spinning up, and the grey Apple logo appears. I inserted the retail Mac OS X 10.6 install disc, and held the C button on my keyboard to boot the machine. I wanted to re-install my mid-2010 15-inch MacBook Pro (Intel Core i7 2.66 gHz 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM) which is currently running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
