[quote Jimmypoo]Nuke/Pave. He doesn't have anything on the drive, does he? Is this a new unit??
If he can grab an old User folder for data (via Target Mode boot), if this is an OS Upgrade, great - otherwise write zeros and tomorrow give it 37 minutes to install.
Why would you tell him to nuke and pave. He didn't say it was a new install. I had the same problem, followed Apple's instructions and everything went back to normal. Why would you turn a three minute fix into a several hour job?
