Greetings, my wife's macbook pro'd Hard Drive Crashed showing the blinking folder and exclamation point. I was no even able to do a command R to get things going. Long story short, I replaced the hard drive and proceeded to load the operating system disk. I got it running, however the system didn't recognize the hard drive. I did some partitioning and it finally did. This is a seagate hard drive and i don't think I formatted it correctly for Mac. Can someone tell me what settings this hard drive should be set at through the disk utility? Or is there anything else I need to do prior to loading the operating system?
I did try once and after about 30 minutes it came up with "Unable to proceed" or something to that effect.
and FWIW, there was nothing on the old HD that we needed, so we were not going to try to get anything off the old one.
