[QUOTE="FrankWon, post: 1292411, member: 213958"] Hey guys, I bought a Seagate Momentus ST905003N3A1AS-RK HDD just an hour ago, put it into my 13" MBP for software installation and I am getting repeated requests: "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button" So I restart, hold C, get the same message about 2 minutes later... Any suggestions? I don't even GET to the formatting, partitioning, etc. EDIT: After several more tries, I got frustrated and took out the OSX 10.5.6 DVD and pulled out my OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) UPGRADE DVD and tried it. I don't understand how I have success using the UPGRADE DVD but failed using the Restore DVD... Thanks to the readers anyway! [/QUOTE]
