2010 Macbook Pro, 10.6.8, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4, 8G RAM, 500G HD...
I tried to install Linux Mint 16 alongside OS X but it appears to have lost the Mac OS and it won't reboot from Apple DVD.
When I turn the machine on, it makes the familiar Mac sound but then boots Linux.
If I insert the Apple DVD Snow Leopard and restart while holding the "option" key, I get the option of booting Linux from thr HD or from the DVD, I choose the DVD and I get the gray apple and the spinning gear but then the screen darkens (like a shade being pulled down) and it says I must turn the machine off and then back on. And it keeps going in that circle.
How do I get OS X back on my Macbook pro?
