Hello,
I'm new to macs and I'm very excited about owning one. I recently bought a 15" Macbook pro [late 2006 model (2.33Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 120Gb HD, ATI Mobility Radeon X1600, 2Gb RAM)] from a friend. He had 10.4 running which I believe is the Tiger OS?
My other friend gave me his "recovery CDs" which were 10.5.2 for his mac. Every time I tried to install it, it won't work. I've already tried the erase and install method and still it won't work.
Do I need to get the retail OS X CDs?
Can it be because of the ATI graphic card?
Can I run even run 10.5?
If someone could help answer these questions it'll be much appriciated.
Thank you
