I just replaced the hard drive on my old MacBook that my son gave me. It normally runs very well but the hard drive I installed several years ago needed replacing. All went well. Now comes time to install the software. I'm installing disk one and the message is: Disk Erase Failed Input Output Error. I have examined and followed the threads about this issue but to no avail. It seems that the old threads have this issue well pegged but my machine is not responding as it should. No injury has occurred to the machine. For several months it has been driving a 23 inch monitor and playing my tunes for me along with an occasional back up. No heavy lifting. I have used disk utility obviously and I tried to both erase and partition. I highlighted the drive that I wish to erase--it's the new one with nothing on it. Ideas?
