[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1517272, member: 8287"] It for sure is not the size. The only issue when you get it working with Some larger hard drives that are SATA 2 and the old Macbook is slowness and jerks due to the drive and the older SATA 1 controller not negotiating properly. What brand and model is the new Hard Drive? I put a WD 320GB Blue in my 3.1 Macbook and got the jerks and pauses. WD removed the SATA 1 jumper so I could not force it into that mode. So I bought a 320 GB Seagate which had the SATA 1 jumper and it's fast and smooth. The above is NOT your issue though. Your issue there I am not sure, the circle with diag line usually means the OS DVD you used it not compatible with the machine you are installing it on. [/QUOTE]
