I've just replaced the hard drive in a late-2006 MacBook Pro. Replacement went like a dream. But now having trouble on the OS X (10.4.8) install. Have original OS X Install Disc 1 that shipped with machine. I insert the disc but it eventually gets spit out and I get the folder with a question mark appearing.
I've got a slight work around. I also have a MacBook Pro 2010 and use the 10.6.3 install disc. That enables me to get in (after quite a few attempts of disc being spat out, pressing C, pressing shift, pressing D, pressing option etc) - but obviously I can't install from this disc. However, I can buy-pass a few steps and get into utilities. I've created a drive partition. I then select startup disc but the only options I have are network or the 10.6.3 install disc. I then restart and obviously I'm back to square 1. I try to force eject the 10.6.3 and insert the 10.4.8 which then gets spat out!
I've spent about 10 hours on this and am losing patience!
I'm sure an expert on here has the solution.
Thanks.
