[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1522718, member: 46727"] First, that's a 2010 MacBook (6,1) which came pre-loaded with Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.1. Where is the original install Snow Leopard DVD? You can't use anything earlier to boot the machine as it won't work. You also say you have a 10.7 disk? Lion can only be obtained by downloading from Apple, it's not available on disk. One thing you might check... we always recommend replacing the SATA cable (goes from hard drive to logic board) when replacing the hard drive on an older machine. That may or may not be the problem but it's a possibility. However, you first need to obtain the proper install media from the owner or buy a Snow Leopard retail install disk direct from Apple for $19.99. [/QUOTE]
