Macbook won't boot from an install disc

[Azgaba]

Hi there folks!

I have a problem.

My late-2007 Macbook's hdd got screwed and I bought a new one.

Now I try to install Snow Leopard 10.6.0.0 but Macbook won't boot from the install disc.

It spins the disc a couple of seconds and then ejects it.

Key commands don't help. Startup manager won't show up if I keep pressing the option key during startup and same goes with pressing c for booting.

After spinning and ejecting the disc the folder with question mark.


What should I do?


Thanks a lot.

Do you have another computer to could you borrow your friend's computer? You could copy the contents of the install disc to USB stick and then install it from that

Thanks for a quick answer.

I have a Windows 7 PC so I could try to install the OS from a flash drive.

But is there any possibility for the installation to begin from a flash drive since I'm not able to even open the Startup Manager?

The fixes behind the link didn't help.

How can I make a bootable flash drive with OS X from a Windows 7 PC?
