Getting the Mac to Work.

I have been working on a broken down MacBook for over two months and yet to complete fixing it up. Urgh. Been putting a 100% effort in it but it just refuses to boot up. Macs are kinda new to me but still, I did not expect it would take two months for me to fix it.

(Truth is, I procrastinated)

The MacBook came to me in a pretty messed up shape. It looked like it had been dropped several times before, fairly dusty, and the keypads have gone yellowish. The only thing that interests me was if it was an Intel MacBook, or PowerPC MacBook. Turns out, its an Intel! Core2 Duo processor inside baby!

Took out the harddisk, and voila! Previous owner had Windows XP Home installed. Okay, that is as far as I have gotten. It refuses to load via CD, and the next step is to Ghost a Windows OS into the Hard Disk manually. But that takes time, and time, is something I don't have much of.

Have a look at this MacBook. Urgh. Disgusting.

If you look closely, you can see the chipped bodywork. And geee, yellowish keypads. I wonder if other people's MacBook are as disgusting as this. I've got so many computers to fix, so many harddisks to destroy and so little time to study. Back to the books!
