[QUOTE="luigi, post: 1587958, member: 327856"] Basically what I have done, like you advised, I mounted the HD on an external enclosure, boot up the mac with the installation disk, and after I could see the HD with DIskUtility; so, I erased it and format it. Afterward i have installed snowleopard on it successfully (still as an external) and i could boot the mac from this. Snowleopard worked without problems and I even moved on the most recent backup. After this step, I also upgraded the software to lion, and once again I tried to insert the HD inside the mac so to try another boot up. Still, it could not be recognised showing the flashing questionmark folder. After this step, I gave up and for the past month I have been using my mac by booting through the WD in the external case.. . [/QUOTE]
