Okay, I'm going to try to keep this brief:
If you have questions, just let me know. I want to solve this issue, but I'm not sure there is a viable solution...

- I am trying to fix a friend's MBP, so I took out his old hard drive and replaced it with another one.
- I inserted the Snow Leopard disc only to get an error message after boot up that read something like "Mac OSX cannot be installed on this drive, etc."
- If I don't insert the Snow Leopard disc, the computer boots up to a screen with a flashing folder that has a question mark on it.
- Did some research: Found that the problem may be solvable using target disc mode. I have a second MBP and a firewire cable. Tried using both of them as the "target" computers (because the threads are VERY vague as to which one needs to be the target). Neither worked.
- Can't figure out if I'm doing right, but nothing's working.
- WHAT SHOULD I DO?!
