Cannot install Tiger on a new Macbook hard drive

[Willy S]

The new hard drive runs, but the Macbook just spits the Macbook install disc out. I press c and everything when I turn on the computer, but nothing works. The new hard drive is a Seagate 160 GB that I bought earlier this year. Does anybody have a clue what my problem is?

So you cannot boot from the disks, correct?

Are these the disks that came with your computer?

Remember SR Macbooks can't install Tiger.
