Thanks for the suggestion.


I can boot into "safe mode", but as soon as I sign in it asks me to sign in again and then turns off the "mode"


I have tried reinstalling via Recovery Mode, but get the same "failed to personalize the software update" error message.


I have checked the hard drive with "disk utility" and everything is fine. I have 125 GB free for my hard drive.


Thanks
