Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have a failing? drive and have another internal drive to install OS on. I swapped out the MB from the original (failing) 867. I put in the Install disk, select it for startup. I reboot, but apparently the startup disk isn't seen and it boots normally. I tried the Option key on boot, but only the original hardrive is seen...
Anyone know of a way around this as I assume the MB isn't recognizing the disk?
Thanks in advance,

Apple has been not supplying old cd/dvd's then supplying old cd/dvd's for years. Maybe based on direction of winds. I think they officially supply parts to old computers for seven years. I guess they stopped supplying for awhile after seven years.
It's seems they made up a special dvd for restoring.
New enlightened manager took over department. Also, heard geniuses sometime did restore in store. Perhaps, common policy.
Could get dvd from apple then sell existing one ebay.

Well, new startup disk didn't work...so I can only assume the drive (of 1 yr) is bad or the MB is...
Of course, after the fact, I remembered I had a copy of Carbon Copy, so I cloned my existing OS to another partition and am using that for now...
