[QUOTE="argostar, post: 1606666, member: 333680"] Hi all, I upgraded my HDD to SSD as HDD was reporting imminent failure with AHT and I wanted to anyway. Now I have done that when I turn on 2011 Mac Book Pro 15" Unibody I get the ?folder as I'd expect. I then try to insert original Mac Install disk that came with the machine but it just spits it out after 10 / 15 seconds. I tried with other watchable DVD's all of which the machine will accept and spin up. So for some reason the MBP is rejecting the install DVD but doesn't reject other watchable DVD's so I am thinking the Optical is ok. Any ideas why it is rejecting the install disk and is there anything I can do? I tried pushing the disk in, turning it off straight away and then starting it up holding C, and Option and R (like a hundred times) but it just spits out the disk. Help needed please so I can get the machine back up and running. Thanks [/QUOTE]
