I received a late 2008 Mac Pro tower. 2 Xeons with 21 gb ram. The current boot drive is faulty. It may just be the image its running off of, but when I boot into OSX its just a blue screen and the top tool bar. Using the top tool bar I am able to run some applications, like chrome. I've tried lots of fixes, but I've decided to go out and buy a new 500gb HDD and reflash a new OS on it. I have a couple windows PC's I can use to access the new hard drive and push files to it, and I can get my hands on another mac if necessary. Is this possible? How can I do this.
Also... my understanding is I can't install any version above..... 10.6.8? I would also like to know more about that if anyone knows anything about that. From what I read its due to the graphics card that's in the computer. Its not powerful enough.
I can provide any further info if needed.
Thanks
