Mac-Mini Replaced HD, now won't start

Asked by PCGenieLA in Apple Operating Systems, Apple Desktop, Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger)

Tags: , ,

Hi all,
I had a harddrive crash and decided to uprade by replacing the Apple HD 37gb with a 256gb WD. All that went smoothly except I cannot start it to reinstall the OS. When I start the Mini, I get a chime and the LED is solid. The DVD starts up and then the LED starts flashing (once per second). The DVD will spin down and then compuer will shut off after about 30 second. The display is a blank grey screen , except once or twice I got a blue(purple) screen with a forward button and redo buton. Also, I can't get the DVD ejected. I have tried without luck resetting PRAM, and replacing RAM (Apple Genius said it was a RAM problem) What does all this mean and what should I do? . Thanks for any help
