Hello Mac Forums community. I found this site in hopes someone could help me figure out what I am doing wrong in terms of getting my macbook to run. the hard drive crashed - I ordered a western digital, 160gb hard drive. I installed it properly i know this. However, when I booted up my macbook everything was looking good again on startup....the little apple logo, screen and everything. I put disc one of mac os x startup disc in. still, everything looking good. I select the language I want, it then says preparing to install mac osx. the next screen says welcome to mac osx. to install additional apps that come with computer, it says click continue and follow the onscreen instructions. or, I can quit, choose quit from the installer menu at top left screen, and click startup disk. If I try to install the additional apps, agree to the software license agreement, it then tells me to select a destination volume to install the mac osx software. Problem is, it gives me no options, i can't click on the options button, and from here i can only go back. I tried choosing the quit option in the installer menu at top left of screen. I can either restart and be stuck in this same process, hit startup disk which it says, or don't quit. I hit startup disk, and it says select the system you want to use to start up your computer. there is a network startup or the mac osx cd to choose from. ive tried both options. the computer says it needs to restart, once it restarts nothing happens and I am stuck in these processes again. ANY HELP WOULD BE TREMENDOUSLY APPRECIATED!!!!! as you can probably tell, I know nothing about computers.
