Will Not Boot From HDD or DVD

Hi;

My sons Macbook has died. I have tried all of the various boot option, CMD + R, CMD + S etc to no avail. I have managed to boot into recovery (with all of the various recovery options) and safe mode to terminal but all of the various solutions on the web failed.

Last resort remove the HDD and connect it as an external HDD to my other Mac, however, when I did this the device appeared on my desktop and all of the folders appear but not files. I am now trying to scan using Disk Drill but so far nothing has been found apart from a 500MB lost partition which contains com.apple.recovery.boot.

Still searching.

I then put a spar SATA HDD in and tried to boot from an install DVD from my earlier Macbook 13 2008 but although I can hear the DVD spin nothing shows on the screen.

I then removed the HDD and tried again without the HDD fitted but still nothing?

Any help to get the up and running again would ben fantastic.

Thanks

Update (10/20/2018)

I went onto that site to ID the machine. It is a MacBook Core 2 Duo 2.4 13” (Mid 2010). (P8600)

A1342

The grey system installation disks are machine specific. A Mac will not boot from a system that is earlier than what it shipped with.

Sounds like you have another Mac that may be close.

The icon you selected is the A1181, there were 17 versions of this model starting in 2006 and going to 2009

the 2006 had

Pre-Installed MacOS:X 10.4.6 (8I2025)Maximum MacOS:X 10.6.8*

the 2009 had

Pre-Installed MacOS:X 10.5.7Maximum MacOS:X 10.11.x*

So we HAVE to know the exact machines we are talking about here so we can get on the same page to solve your problem.

Find the serial numbers and plug them in on this link to do that

Edited the original post with the model number - according to everymac it is an A1342.

That narrows it to two machines:

Pre-Installed MacOS: X 10.6.1 (10A2047) Maximum MacOS: X 10.13.x*

Pre-Installed MacOS: X 10.6.3 (10D2162) Maximum MacOS: X 10.13.x*

What is your machine and what system is it running?

I did that and that’s how I came up with the machine details?

Anyway I have been making some very slow progress. Trying to install El Capitan onto a spare HDD. I make some progress then hit another error.

FInally I have tried successfully to create a USB install Drive using an 8GB USB Stick. Managed to boot from this by pressing the Option Key at Boot up and then as soon as the install started, after selecting install OS from the menu, it failed saying the OS could not be verified and may be corrupted.

After read a similar error it was because the system date had reset to 2001. A quick update in terminal and I managed to get all the way through an OS X installation until the very end ‘0’ seconds and then another verify error.

Now trying to boot using CMD +R progress bar takes ages, screen darkens and lightens, spinning beach ball, then some text briefly appears on screen but then the machine powers off. Whatever I do I cannot get any boot menu, either CMD + R, Option Key, Shift Key - anything, apart from occasionally being able to select a startup disc using the Option Key when booting. I have tried two separate old internals HDD’s both formatted to MAC OS Journaled.

Also tried resetting PRAM,

PLEEASEE HELP MEEE

Take a look at the date of the installation app you downloaded. Set the date on your computer to a month after that date and then try installation.

Haven't tried that but I am now getting some success using an external HDD as an installer.
