having trouble loading OSX onto a new harddrive for my imac
Hi,
I have a late 2009 Imac. I just installed a new Seagate harddrive in it after the old Seagate drive died. I am having a problem installing the OS X 10.6.4 that came with the computer originally. I insert the install disk, start the computer, hold c while it is starting up, then in the next menu I click on English as the language, next it says the OS is loading but stops in the middle of loading and a message comes up saying "OS X could not be installed on your computer". I try to click on disk utilities from the menu in the upper left but all of the options are grayed out. The two things I can choose are to restart the computer or to load from a back up . Any help on what I could try would be great.
iMac (27-inch Late 2009), Mac OS X (10.6.5)
