Hi,
I bought a second hand MACBOOK (Aluminium Body) but did not get any OS X dvds along with it. So had to install Windows to check the system and get things going. Windows Vista is running perfectly fine on this system with all the drivers installed.
I consulted Apple Service Center (for MAC OS X) and they told me that the cheapest way to get MAC OS X is to buy a single user version of Snow Leopard and then you can do a fresh installation of OS X on your system.
Now when I try to boot the system using the Snow Leopard DVD, the system first displays the apple logo screen and then it goes blank. Sometimes, the system flashes the 'Language Selection' screen for a couple of seconds and then goes blank. If I press enter at that stage, the next screen also flashes for a couple of seconds and then goes blank. Sometimes, the system just stays blank after 'apple logo' screen.
Can anybody tell me what's wrong? Do I have to remove windows before trying to install OS X or do I have to do some other setting first?
Again, the windows installation did not have any such problems nor is windows giving any problems while running.
Thanks
