[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1022427, member: 42497"] The folder is telling you have no operating system installed on the hard drive. Do as Collin suggests booting from an OS X install DVD, preferable Leopard OS X.5, or Tiger OS X.4 at the earliest, holding down 'C' after the chime. Go into Utilities and select Disk Utility, erase the drive if a used drive, partition using Apple Partition Map as suggested and choose format as Mac OS Extended. Now back to Installer and proceed with the install. One word of caution. If you need to purchase a Leopard or Tiger install DVD, do not buy a silver grey model specific disc. Must be the black full retail install version. System specific discs about on auctions sites under various name , back up, system restore, system install, drop in etc etc. The beauty of the Apple Direct Connect (ADC) system was that the power, signal and USB connection are all carried on that one cable. No need for separate mains power etc. [/QUOTE]
