[QUOTE="6string, post: 1146859, member: 120039"] What do you mean have done the above? You start up from the install disc holding C, and follow the rest of the procedure erasing and reinstalling OS X. When the installation is complete, then the Mac restarts, you enter your password, and it starts from the HD. If there was a startup disk with an OS on it, you would hold option instead of C when booting, and then the HD would show up as an option. I am guessing that you have tried this and there isn't one. This is why we are erasing and reinstalling OS X. If you can boot holding option and select the Macintosh HD, you are good to go. [/QUOTE]
