Thanks,Jose MacBook Posted on Jun 2, 2012 3:00 PM I have this question too by Kappy,Solvedanswer Kappy Level 10 (271,860 points) Desktops A: The installer disc will have the version of OS X it installs on the label of the DVD. Exactly what computer model do you have? Do you know what OS X version was installed on your old drive.You've provided no information helpful to getting your problem resolved. If you have using a MacBook, then it is an Intel model. It came with a special version of Tiger. But failing to recognize the drive correctly means a number of things. Importantly, it means the drive is jumpered or configured to work on a newer model than yours. The drive must be reconfigured to work in your computer. This may or may not be possible with a WD Blue drive.You can only upgrade the OS by purchasing a newer DVD - Leopard, Snow Leopard, or Lion. And, your computer must meet the system requirements of each:Leopard System requirementsYou must have a Macintosh computer with: an Intel processor or a PowerPC G4 (867 MHz or faster) or G5 processor

Was the 500GB hard drive new? What was the reason for fitting the 500GB drive, replacing a failed hard drive or an upgrade? Were you careful with the drive flex cable, avoiding pulling it against where it's held by 2 small screws? Knowing the answers to the above may help determine how to resolve your problem.

The drive is a new one and the reason for was replacement as well as upgrade. Not sure about the last question. I basically can get to the area in disc utility to partition (format) the HD, I choose to partition 1, hit partition and it says partition failed: input/output error. Really becoming a pain. Any other tips would be great though! thanks techiesteve! Reply With Quote 10-05-2012,03:47 PM #4 techiesteve View Profile
