[QUOTE="MacNasty, post: 1470385, member: 242393"] Well, didn't work. Snow Leopard disk started install and the computer froze up about 15 minutes into the install. I got the grey screen with the Apple in the center and watched it for 90 minutes. Install was to take about 40 minutes. Couldn't start computer (kept freezing up - trying to boot from the SL disk I couldn't eject I guess). I finally had to open up the case and remove the optical drive and do the magic paperclip disk removal trick. I'm assuming here that if I just transferred all the Mac SL files from my dead MacBookPro drive to the "B" drive of the Mac Pro wouldn't work? Not the correct drivers, etc? [/QUOTE]
