[QUOTE="lange74, post: 1302203, member: 216369"] Hi, after having a dead hard drive, I bought a new one for my Macbook pro. I installed the new drive, everything went fine. Now It's time to put my install disk in it. I put the disk in, put the computer on. After about 30 seconds the Apple appears with the rolling circle. I hear the hard drive working. After a few minutes, I get asked what language I want to use. I select one. Then after a few more minutes, I see the background appearing and then the computer turns off. What can I do? Do I need to format the drive? All I can find on forums is: "go to disk utility" but I can't go, I never get around to the point of finding disk utility. thanks for your help [/QUOTE]
