Hi all:
I'm trying to help my buddy upgrade the HD in his MBP. I followed the guide here: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2119581,00.asp (of which this is the last page), and everything went well. We got the old drive out, got the new one in, got everything put back together, etc... Now we are trying to format the drive but we can't get into that portion of the process.
We have his new copy of Snow Lepoard in the optical drive, but when we turn the computer on, it doesn't bring up the OSX installer like I expected it to do. It just sites on a blue screen and does nothing. I know that we need to format the drive, but we can't get to the disk utility portion of the installer. Any help? Any ideas? Thanks!
