Ok I've got an old Macbook which comes up with the flashing folder icon when you turn it on because the hard drive is blank.
We also have a Macbook pro here at home and a friend has an similar Macbook to the old one.
Now if I try inserting either DVD supplied with the Macbook Pro or the Macbook, it will boot up but wont install saying it can't be installed onto the computer, understandable as to my knowledge they will only work on the computer it was supplied with.
I also have an old retail Tiger OS DVD, which if I insert that I can hear the computer recognises the DVD but it wont get past the flashing folder icon and I don't understand why, if I put the disc in our Macbook pro It recognises it and opens it.
So, can I only fix this Macbook with the original DVD it was supplied with? (which I don't have access to)
What are my options? Apple treats it as a vintage model so I can't have them repair it.
