Hello,
This is my first time posting and i'm hoping someone might be able to help. I'm new to MAC. My sister gave me her Macbook which she had for a couple of years now. SHe told me she knew the HD would die out and last week it did. Went to boot up and I got the folder with the ? on it. Went out and bought a new Toshiba 2.5 Sata HD. went online and saw how the installation would work. Removed battery, then removed old HD installed new HD and powered everything up with the MAC OS X disk. Problem is when I go to load the software into the drive i want there is no Drive available. I think it's not seeing the HD for some reason? Is there something I was suppose to do? Is there another utility disk I may need to run?
