Mac OS X DVD Installing Problem

Mac OS X Installing Problem

Hi!

I would like know if somebody can help me on my big problem in my MACBOOK AIR.

Last month my macbook air OS X was corrupted and my OS X CD was missing so I decided to install WINDOWS 7 and reformat the whole disk to NTFS, it was running good but I can't use my bluetooth headset even the bluetooth driver is already installed. I also bought a Bluetooth Adapter but it's USELESS!


anyway I found my MAC OS X DVD and I tried to install it but it was not happening I clicked C and it was loading til 5mins..it will say PRESS POWER BUTTON THEN TURN OFF AND RESTART AGAIN!

here's the problem:
1) I run the MAC OS X DVD many times!! but still the same.what can I do to put my MAC OS X OS BACK?

2) and how can I use my bluetooth headet in WINDOW 7?

G'day and welcome to the forums.

Boot from the OS X DVD, go into Utilities > Disk Utility > Erase and format Mac OS Extended. Back to Installer and install, assuming of course this is a Snow Leopard/Leopard disc.

Update to latest Combo Updater from the Apple web site, print out Bootcamp Assistant instructions from Utilities, and run Bootcamp with the Windows 7 disc. You will be prompted to insert the OS X DVD to install drivers.

You have to do this with a wired keyboard and mouse. After install you can go into Windows 7 Control Panel and set up Bluetooth wireless mouse etc. Then update Windows 7 as there is quite a few updates, including a SP.

boot then restart

I think I made a mistake in reformatting the whole drive, or It can't detect the SSD Drive

In order to reinstall OS X on that Air after you formatted the entire SSD as NTFS and installed Win 7, you first must reset the PRAM. Now try to reinstall. Let us know.
