[QUOTE="m252a1, post: 1169088, member: 186657"] Trying to install a new hard drive onto my G5 I recently purchased. I have the gray disk that has os X on it. On the disk it says to hold the "C" key down to boot. Does not work. All I get is a small folder on the screen. Someone said hold the "ALT" key down. Does not work. All I get is a screen with a padlock, a bar, and a box with an arrow. I also searched the net the last few days under Mac key commands and found about ten or so more configurations that should boot, but none of them work either. The dvd drive is the mac dv-109 so it should boot. Someone said that the drive has to be set as a "Startup" disk. How do you set that without a drive in the system? Thank for any help you could give me. [/QUOTE]
