I installed the HD and started up the Power Mac. I was planning to insert the OS X disk and have to reinstall the operating system. But it booted up fine and seems to be working perfectly.

Oct 30, 2010 following the issues I had with not being able to install ANYTHING or do any software updates, i've decided to reformat and reinstall Mac OSX.

Sep 30, 2009 I was having problems with my macbook pro and decided to reformat it and reinstall os x and boot it off my time machine back up from my MacPro.

The main problem I've had is that I couldn't find my original installation discs (the macbook pro was bought in April 2008), I used my friends OS X disc (from his computer which was about 2 years older) and it seemed to install ok until I realised that the sound is gone, airport is gone and all the keys have different shortcuts to their original ones.
