HT1338 How to install OS X on a new HDD to replace a failed drive?

My sisters MacBook (Late 2006) HDD has failed. I have a spare drive that I would like to install OS X onto to replace the failed drive. Whats the best way to do this and which version of OS is best to install for this model MacBook?

Hello, it'd be best to use the Original Install Disc while booting the MacBook from it, but a Retail 10.6 Install Disc may work...
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

  • How to install Arch for dual-boot with Win 7 (on 2 hard drives)?

    Hello,
    the TLDR first: how exactly should I proceed when setting up GRUB for 2 hard drives to dual-boot Arch (64 bit)and Win 7 (64 bit)?
    Long version: So, I have the following hard drive & partition layout:
    On my first hard drive (250 GB big) I have: Win 7 64 bit, all the programs for Windows and of course the EFI partition
    My second hard drive is 1 TB big and formatted in NTFS and it only contains data. It has 2 partitions, one is about 750 GB big and used for simple storage.
    Sidenote 1: sometimes my disk management (Windows' own gparted) shows either the little disk or the big one as disk 0. Don't know what exactly this means, but I have never ever experienced any problems whatsoever during use.
    Sidenote 2: the UEFI motherboard (ASRock H67M) cannot boot into Legacy mode.
    I want to install Arch on a ~200 GB partition on the second hard drive (the one with 1 TB). (click here if you want to see a screenshot) I am posting this because I am confused with how exactly I should deal with the whole "2 hdds & UEFI" thing.
    So how exactly should I proceed when setting up GRUB for this setup?
    For partitioning I suppose I would have to use fdisk or cgdisk. I used cgdisk before and found it to be straightforward. Then, because I have experienced my fair share of problems with rEFInd, I'd like to use GRUB.

    First thing you should do is become familiar with your motherboard.
    http://www.asrock.com/mb/manual.asp?Model=H67M
    This will probably help you out in understanding the sidenote 1 thingie (hdd's on sata3 and/or sata2 connectors)
    As on sidenote 2, according to the manual it seems to be possible to boot legacy mode,  see Storage Configuration.

  • HT1338 how do i load windows 7 on a mac air using the super drive?

    How do I load windows 7 on a Mac Air using the super drive?

    You use Boot Camp to partition the SSD in the Air, download the Win 7 Support files from Apple (part of the boot camp process), save them to a USB thumb drive, have the USB superdrive connect to the Air with the Win 7 install DVD in the drive. Once partitioned the system will reboot and start the Win 7 install.

    padman215, welcome to the forum,
    you need to boot from the Rescue and Recovery cd and select to recover the system and then to recover to factory state. It will then eventually ask for the other discs.
    Please be sure that you read the messages carefully; if it asks for a supplementary disc, (which you don't seem to have), you need to click on "no" should it ask for one - this throws alot of people.
    Happy installing

  • How to install PS CS5 on a new computer

    How do I move Photoshop cs5 to a new computer

    Hi Jej,
    You'll need to install it again on the new computer. You'll want to use the serial number you used before, hopefully you still have it. You can download the installer from here if needed:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
    If you don't have the serial number you'll need to contact support for assistance. They'll have it so long as it was registered. You can contact them via Contact Customer Care
