I recently installed a new internal hard drive after my original one died unexpectedly. The replacement internal hd is the Western Digital WD1002FAEX 1TB Caviar Black. I restored from a time machine backup using the OSX reinstall disk after creating a single GUID partition for the HD. At startup, I get the wonder "you need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button until it turns off, then press the power button again," message.
I checked the ram slots, they're fine. I can access the new internal HD when I boot from my External Clone HD with no problem. But, it still will not boot even when I go to system preferences>startup disk> and try to boot from the new internal HD.
I had to "restore from backup," using a time machine backup because im missing disk 2 of the OSX reinstall, and was thinking that running "archive and install" may solve the problem. I called Apple and ordered a new set of OSX install disks that should be here within the next week.
Anyone know what a possible problem could be? Help would be very appreciated!!! Thankss!
ps: My specs are in my sig \/
