So here is what happened. My mac was acting up, freezing when it went to sleep. So I turned the sleep mode off, but kept happening. So since everything is on my secondary hard drive, I thought, lets just wipe the main hard drive and reinstall OS. Well, I used Disk Utility to erase the drive, and then it asked for my apple ID to download the Mac OS. And then it froze. So now I have a computer that will not start, obviously because there is no operating system. And I can't get it to start from the Mac OS CDs I bought. I bought this computer used so I do not have the original CDs that came with the computer.
The computer is:
A1186 Mac Pro Intel Xeon Quad 3.0GHz Dual Core 2GB 250GB-Pre owned
And I bought Mac OS Snow Leopard cds since that is what it originally came with.
But I cannot get the computer to start up from the cds (booting holding the C key down).
Any ideas?
