[QUOTE="Mark Edwards, post: 1503788, member: 164589"] hello all - i was given a broken macbook pro and i believe it needs a new hard drive. i tried an ordinary seagate SATA HHD but when i got to the OS-restall part about "pick a hard drive" it could not find the new seagate SATA HHD i put in. is there a special trick i need to know? maybe there is a special apple HHD ? also, from reading the instructions (what newbie does that?) it seems to indicate if i hold down the "C" key while turning the computer on, it should boot from the dvd. but for me, it does not seem to do anything at all. thank you from a soon-to-be former windows person [/QUOTE]
