[QUOTE="scathe, post: 908176, member: 81672"] Did you buy a new drive or use something you alredy had maybe from a different computer? From what I can tell the warning you get is a Hard Drive problem and not a problem with your installation disks (dvds) ... I'd do what B&O suggested, reformat the drive to the MacOS filysystem and try again ... do this by booting off your installation dvd and use Disk Utility from there I'm not sure if it's completely impossible to install the system from installation disks that came with the computer, but it is against the EULA (or so I believe) and might not work [/QUOTE]
