Hi All... so I've been resurrecting an old MacBook, a 2007 Core 2 Duo machine and tried installing the OS onto a new hard drive last night. I'm totally new to Macs but fitted the new drive, partitioned it and installed OS X successfully. However on the first boot after installation a welcome message popped up asking me to choose some basic settings, location (UK), keyboard layout (UK) and whether I wanted to transfer info from another Mac. This all seemed fine but when these settings having been entered I keep receiving a message saying the machine needs to be restarted, but when I restart the same welcome screen and keyboard etc settings process repeats, only to be asked to restart again. I've tried entering differing settings but they always result in the same message requesting to restart, and the cycle repeats. Does anyone know what the problem could be? I've searched online and can't find this problem covered. The version of OS X is 10.4 I believe and I'm using the original software that came with the machine. Any thoughts would be much appreciated, cheers Kev.
