[QUOTE="Hogger, post: 1312074, member: 46450"] I've searched all over here, and found some good info, but couldn't find the same problem I'm having. I think the CD drive in my Macbook is toast. It keeps spitting out disks when I try to put them in and start the computer pushing the "C" key. I was able to start the MacBook in the mode when you press the "T" key. I used another computer to format the drive with Disk Utility through a firewire. Formatted as 1 partition journaled. I then copied the install disks 1 and 2 of OS X 10.2 onto the MacBook HD. This is the only version I have, I'll upgrade once I can get something to work. When starting the MacBook and pressing the "C" key, all I get is an image of a file folder with a question mark. Did I miss a step? What am I doing wrong? [/QUOTE]
