Recovery Discs

oceandigital said:
Ok, I had success. I was trying to reinstall SL with a copy I purchased but it never worked. I then found a set of discs that came with my Mini, which was SL but the disks looked different.

Anyways, I used the discs that came with my machine and everything went well, I was able to boot to the disc, format the drive and reinstall SL!

Im so happy to have SL back, Lion was a train wreck for me.




ps. now that I know only the discs that came with our computers will work for a recovery I highly recommend making duplicates since they will be impossible to find replacements incase of damage.

Actually, you can order your machine-specific recovery discs for any Mac that was released with SL or below (they don't make them for Lion) directly from Apple. I believe it was $16.00 +tax per disk the last time I ordered a set. Just call Apple and after they give you the Applecare spiel, just tell them you need to order recovery disks and they'll pass you off to sales.
