Hey, I think at the time I managed to install Leopard of Snow Leopard. Really, if you don't want to buy a more recent OS (last one being Lion btw), you should just exchange your disc with a different one. Tell me how it goes !

Hey buddy, Am not really sure what you are referring to as it's been a while since I opened this thread and especially, I had multiple issues coming on to screw my days at the time. It was one problem after another. It's been a while since I solved the issue. Seems like the new HD was not...

I just booted with snow leopard (from my new MBP 13inch) and snow leopard recognizes it correctly. I formatted, but can't install. It says: Mac OS X can't be installed on this computer. If you want to restore your system from a Time Machine backup, click "Restore from Backup"". I guess it's...

Install disc is fine because I installed on the old 120Gb drive and it works fine... I'll try to clone the 120Gb on the 500 (through USB) and then put the 500 in the computer... (?). I'll try with snow leopard too, never know... I do have it at home.

Of course. This guy just wanted to drop a link to his site.. I wouldn't be wasting time here if I were willing to pay for someone else to take care of my business. First, I had the screen of death on my mac (with the 120Gb HD) with the folder and question mark. Went to Apple Store and the guy...

When I tried to install OS X via USB, there was an error and it failed. When booting from install disc with HD connected to SATA, drive is not visible as destination during intallation procedure, but is visible with Disk Utility, which reports wrong disk size. Cannot clic repair. When try to...

Would be defective even though it works fine via USB ? Is there any free app on Leopard, Tiger, XP or Ubuntu that can identify if disk is broken ? Thanks for the quick reply !

Hi all, I just bought a new 500 Go Western Digital internal HD for my old MacBook Pro (intel & Tiger, 2006). The disk works fine when plugged via a USB adapter, but doesn't when plugged through SATA. I have the following problems: - When booting from the Tiger install disk, the HD is...
