I got a mac from a friend to look at, he was trying to do a sys re-install. It took almost 10hrs to re-install cd 1 and it later asked for cd2 and it seems not to be making any process. I know system re-install shouldn't be not more than 2hrs. Also when I power down the mac, it didn't boot up immediately, I have to leave it for like 6/12 hrs before it boots up. Pls what could be wrong?

Well what MAC is it? Speck? OS 10.? This as you know should not take this long. When your doing the reinstall are you wiping the drive first? Let us know. We will sort it out!
