I have a 2006+ Macbook. I got a new 250gb HD for it. Installed it, and now I'm having the hardest time trying to format this thing.
Here's what's going on:
- I reset the PRAM. I put in the install disc.
- I turned the computer off, waited a few seconds.
- Power it back up holding "option".
- I got an icon saying "MAC OSx Install DVD" I clicked it.
- Got the apple screen for a few and then desktop.
- Got prompted with message saying "Cannot install Mac OSX" clicked "OK".
- Went to "utilities" and selected "disc utility".
- Went to Erase, selected Mac OSX Extended (Journaled), named it, and hit erase. It showed up on the right.
- I selected it, hit "Verify Disc" it came back OK.
- I then turned off the computer, turned it back on holding "C" and it automatically ejected the install disc.
-I put it back in, shut it down, and booted back up holding "option" and again it ejected the disc.
WHAT am I missing / doing wrong here!!!! Some on help me out. I've searched and searched.
Thanks!
