Install OS X
How do you install OS X on a new hard drive? I've tried holding down the "C" key, nothing happens except the B&W apple screen with a spinning circle. When holding down the"option" key a window comes up showing me the OS disc, a reload arrow and a continue arrow. When I click on the disc, nothing happens, but when I click on the continue arrow, it goes back to the B&W apple screen with the spinning circle.
I am using disc 1 which I take is the restore dics. All I get is the spinning thinking circle. With a new HDD, would a firmware password still be enabled? If so, what is the process to get the OS onto this new HDD?
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

suggestion - you should keep all your posts on this issue in a single post, rather than starting a new question each time. I see your slightly earlier post here: Reload OSX
note: you can always edit your existing posts!

What happens if you just wait for the apple logo with the spinning circle? Does it boot into the normal os or does it boot into the installer?
