Decide I want to have a second boot drive to play around with Parallels and not risk hosing the original OS-X installation.
I pull out the original HD and put in a new one. Get it formatted and start the installation. It locks up during the install now I'm in limbo (aka hell)
With the failed installation it boots I get the Apple logo then it goes to blank gray screen. I figure no big deal I'll pop out that drive and put the original back in.
Unfortunately that doesn't work either, I get the same blank gray screen with either HD.
I have 27yrs of experience with PC's and 3 days with Mac. Is there something I need to do to reset the system so it sees the original OS installation HD?
As always any assistance is appreciated
