A1225 Hard Drive - replaced and not working
I have a A1225 which the hard drive crashed - I did not have back up, nor original start-up disc.
I first tried to take a cloned disc from my mac book pro running mountain, install in the imac, but it was going crazy - after research found I needed to get OS X Snow Leopard disc from apple...
So, I erased the drive, reinstalled blank into iMac
Put disc in computer
Tried booting using C, then option and selecting, did a option/ control/ p/r reset, nothing works....
One time ity will boot to a white screen and let me move mouse.
Next time - a grey and white screen (white is like a T shape at the top) and it just sits there....
Nothing is working and I am getting frustrated - surely something I am missing or something stupid on my part....
HELP.
