Hi there, I was hoping someone out there can help me with this. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro from an auction site. The best way to describe the condition is refurbished. They wipe the hard drives before shipping them out. I can't figure out how to install Snow Leopard, which I ordered from the Apple Store, so the problem really shouldn't be the disk. When I turn on the machine, I insert the disk and power down. I turn the power back on while holding the "C" button and that doesn't do anything. If I hold down the "Option" key, I get the option to install from the disk, but it doesn't actually do anything. I hear the disk spin around for about 5 to 10 seconds, then it stops. Is there a different way to install the OS on a hard drive that was wiped?
