Hello,
I have an old mac book pro from 2006, I recently had hard drive failure... lots of bad sectors so I decided I'd buy a cheap second hand hard drive and install ubuntu on it. That's proved to be more difficult.
So I've inserted my old MAC OSX DVD into the drive and booted up and it's loaded only to tell me that it cannot be installed. Now I believe this is because of the format of the hard drive is probably ex. windows.
Does anybody have any idea how to a) install OSX onto a new hard disk b) change the format of a disk since it's an internal laptop drive I can't plug two in and format the new one. c) or install ubuntu on a fresh hard disk off a cd/hard drive I know I cannot install it off a USB.
Regards
J
