the problem is the HDD the original has developed a fault an easy fix or so i thought........ so i fitted a new drive inserted the install dvd and started it up, after a few mins the set-up starts and all go's well upto the point of picking where to install and all that come's up is a big white box with nothing it's the same with the original drive nothing???
both drives show up fine in the disk utility but cannot format or anything else
as a picture is worth 1000 words heres 3
