Mac white screen, cant use disk drive, need to re-install OSX?
Hi, i have a very complex problem. So my Macbook pro is having difficulty reading the hard drive. On further inspection, the OS had **** the bed. So i wiped the drive and set it up to put a new OSX on it. But i have no other macs in my house, only windows machines. So i cant install the DMG on to a usb drive. I would use the install disk, but the macbook disk drive died a year ago. So i'm sitting looking at a white screen with a question marked folder flashing. Just putting the DMG on the flash drive is not enough. I don't know what to do and i need this computer to live. Can any one help me out here? Please?

What version of Mac OS are you using? It may have a recovery drive.
Did you try to repair the drive before you wiped it? Also if you get the support you need for installing the OS I strongly recommend you run disk utility verify the drive BEFORE installing the OS.

Maybe ask that hipster douchebag on the 'mac vs. pc' commercials.
He seems pretty knowledgeable.
