[QUOTE="chscag, post: 886121, member: 46727"] A new hard drive must first be partitioned and formatted before you can install the operating system and then applications. You're in a loop because your new hard drive is bare.... Boot your machine with your original install media (Leopard DVD, Tiger DVD, etc). After it boots, select Utilities, Disk Utility, from the top menu. You should be able to see your new hard drive listed in the left column. Highlight the line that shows capacity (should be around 149 GB), now select the desired format you wish. Be sure to select MacOS Extended (HFS +). Name your new drive MacIntosh HD. After formatting is completed, you can then proceed with installing OS X and the applications from your install DVD set. If all this sounds confusing, refer to the instructions on this web site.
