imac recovery modes
i install a new hard drive and try booting from the optical drive,
tried all of the recovery key combination and
the flashing folder still appears
the hardware checks indicates no issues but machine
still not booting up.
Question marked as
2007's are too old to have recovery; you will need your original install disks. FWIW, what is "24 1432"??
Here are all the models introduced in 2007:

And here is the list of Macs that could be upgraded to recovery:

So, if yours is not on this list, you will need either your install disks, boot from another source, clone back a bootable clone you have on an external drive, or purchase a Snow Leopard disk from Apple (which is Snow Leopard:

And, lastly, did you format the new hard drive? You will need to do that first (you can do that while booted into another source).
