Q: 2007 iMac was running Yosemite, now folder with question mark
I have a 2007 iMac that was running Yosemite. I THINK the old hard drive failed so I replaced it. Prior to replacing, I tried everything I knew of. Couldn't ever get recovery mode to show up, tried to boot to original install disc but received the same folder with question mark every time. Tried booting to time machine but again, received the folder with question mark. I've reset the pram and smc numerous times but nothing worked.
I have since replaced the hard drive as I assumed it was a dead hard drive and receive the same folder with question mark, no matter what I do.
Any help would be appreciated as I would like to get a year or two more out of the computer.
Thank you in advance for your help!

If Apple no longer provides those discs get a retail Snow Leopard disc http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
