[QUOTE="rwjw, post: 1517017, member: 302225"] Hi guys .. New to this forum but trust someone can help. Working on friends old macbook running 10.4.11. The 120 HDD failed so replaced with similar but 500gb. This showed up as the wrong size with disk utilities similar to other posts I have now read. Was able to FireWire from a similar macbook. HDD recognised correctly, partitioned the disc and loaded Mac OS X. All applications show up. However removing FireWire the original macbook will not boot up. Using the disk utility from the install disk again shows the incorrect HDD drive etc. It still seems OK via the FireWire from another MacBook. Any help advice appreciated. [/QUOTE]
