I was told that my hard drive was bad and that's why I was getting a flashing folder with the question mark. Now I replaced the hard drive with a new one and when I turn it on I get the same thing.
Nothing happens when I hold down "C". When I hold down the option button all that appears is the mouse pointer. I'm running out of ideas on what do to. Any help would be great. Thanks
Is this a good question?

You need to start up from either your original system installation disk or a retail version of 10.6. Go to the second screen pull down menu to Utilities > Disk Utility. Then format the drive and give it one GUID partition. Now continue with the system installation. If you have a Time Machine backup it will ask for it during the set up phase.

I have put my original install disc in (OS X 2Z691-6248) and nothing comes up as well. I hear the drive reading the disc but it still does nothing.
Hold down the "C" key when trying to boot from a DVD.
I've tried that already
