I had a quick search through the forums here but didn't find exactly what I'm after. Basically, my wife has a MacBook Pro (running OSX 5.8) but not the original install DVD (as she bought it second hand). I'd like to make a bootable CD/DVD for her, as wanted to know the best way to do this. If there is a tread already about this, please just direct me there! Thanks guys!

This is what you need, $29 USD at Apple Store Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.) Of course, I know everything . . . I just can't remember it all at once.

Hang on to those original install discs like grim death! Using OS X.7 or later make a bootable USB thumb drive before running Installer! |
