Does not recognize hard drive
I have not used in two years but thought would salvage it.
When I start the mac it gives a flickering folder with a question mark. After some web search I booted the system with the install CD. After startup when I try to install it says “Mac OSX cannot be installed on this computer” . Is replacing the hard drive the only solution for this ?

Please tell us what system your machine is booting into from the DVD. Does it have the original hard drive?

not sure if this answers your question. I do command+R with the DVD.
1) It says Mac OSX cannot be installed on this computer
2) Disk utility is showing only the DVD drive
3) Startup disk shows two options: the install DVD and "Network Startup" with a question mark on a drive.
