hi all
I need some help with a dual usb ibook.
A mate asked me to upgrade his ibook so i dropped in max ram and a new HDD.
That was my part dealt with. Alas he has been trying to install Os X on it to no avail. I do not know what disks he has, a few versions of OS X but whether they are retail or restore disks i could not tell you.
What i know is that upon boot, so i didnt damage any hardware :-) he gets a flashing folder with a '?' on.
He says he has tried 'Apple' + C and other key combos he has found on the web but got nowhere.
My question is, did I need to format the disk a specific way or slave / put it in an external to prep it.
If this had been Windows i would of had no issues but this was my first endeavour in to mac's so I am rather ignorant as to there ways.
So can anyone give me a hand?
He's coming over tonight to try anything suggested out, if not he is going to an Apple store to get charged a hell of a lot for the privileged of getting up and running again.
All help is greatly appreciated.
