Yes, that is more or less proven in the attempt to remove everything but the partitions.
The installer should either verify the MBR and the partitions and not assume they are OK.
Or just wipe the MBR and do everything from scratch.

So guess what! I have a blue LED shining pretty in my cabinet
I went all the way with and let it run over night.

Then a reinstall using the USB, and now everything runs smoothly!
Thanks nobody for hanging with me.

Yes I tried to follow several suggestions on the internet to get rid of the problem without success.
I will try your suggestion to remove the partitions, thanks again nobody!

Removed all the files from the B3's HDD Downloaded the install files again and verified checksums Threw everything over to the USB Plugged it in to a Windows machine to remove the crap Mac OS X leaves behind Plugged it in to B3 Pushed the power button Inserted power cable LED on front goes green Rel...

If you backed up id just reinstall with the reformat option turned on. Its really not worth spending time on this error.

The rescue disk worked and I could browse around on the B3's disk. It looks as if the reinstall worked, there were no traces of my changes, files or created users on the previous system. Even the log files are completely empty. So I cannot make out what stops the B3 to boot properly. Perhaps the dis...

Thanks for the advice! I will try this tomorrow. Let you know.

Hey! I decided to reinstall my B3 today and followed the guide on the wiki. Something must have gone wrong and it stops at boot with the LED purple (blue and red). The B3 clearly starts the process since both the LED on the USB-drive with the install-stuff on in and the HDD's red LED having an 80s d...

Got it in the mail today!
Amazing product. I have had a great feeling ever since the unpacking.

Hello,

I feel a bit like a kid on Christmas Eve

But do you have any estimations on delivery time?
I cannot wait to receive the B3 I ordered last week
