We've already offered a return label and replacement. We bench test these with the memory installed - including the final act of installing the 10.3.5 restore onto the units prior to final prep. Memory is installed prior to all testing (full AHT, calibration, and stress testing).
the Tiger sets we include are Apple new/fresh. no reason for a problem with that.
The data transfer KP could be unrelated. And the other problem reported in the prior thread is almost certainly the Seagate SSC enable issue (Apple's SATA controller conflicts with SSC enabled SATA II HDs - even the latest Dual Core G5 Models).
It shouldn't matter - but the small possibility exists that something corrupted on the stock 250GB when all the attempts were done while the 300GB was still connected.
Run disk utility - wipe the drive clean(just initialize it) - clean install - and if the same thing happens, it's time for us to get the machine back.
It wouldn't hurt to run AHT before doing that if want to make sure the machine is 100%. It's a couple hour test - which the machine with the memory installed did pass prior to shipment.
Gotta remind Mr. Murphy that St. Patrick's Day has already passed. He needs to take a rest.
