Hi,
I have a macbook pro 17", bought it 2009.
It came without the install discs - everything was setup and ready to go. The reason he did this was because he figured if there was any problems we would take it to him in the future. What I thought was a good idea at the time.
Anyways, so now we moved away and I want to update/upgrade my computer. I bought snow leopard install discs and it says to have my original install discs if something should happen.
I want to completely erase everything off my HD and start brand new! All my files and apps are in an external drive and I'm ready!
BUT - I'm concerned that something might happen. And, it's not like if something goes wrong I could drive to a mac store - as I live in a isolated remote island in northern canada.
So, if someone could assure me that I'd have no problems installing Snow Leopard and completely erasing my hard drive to do so - that would be great! .. lol .. Should I be worried even? ..
thanks!
