My question is how to go about troubleshooting this. The machine was running fine with 10.6 until the reinstall was attempted. I have also tried the installer with a different hard drive in the 2007 machine, with the same results. I have removed the hard drive, put it in another enclosure and checked and re-formatted it on another Mac. When I attempt to re-format, Disk Utility returns an error, 'input/output error'. When I then go into Disk Utility and try to re-format and partition the hard drive, the hard drive shows up, but Disk Utility reads the capacity as 7.3tb, when in fact it is 1tb. However, on the third screen, where the installer asks the user to select a disc on which to install the OS, no options are given, ie the installer is not finding my hard drive. The hard drive is blank, and the machine will boot into the installer from the disc. I have the original grey install discs, which state that they are for Mac OS 10.4.10. I am trying to install an OS on this machine, and have hit problems! I have a mid 2007 white Macbook (this one: ) that I have owned from new. I am a long-time Mac user, but not experienced with anything too technical.
