[QUOTE="chscag, post: 790597, member: 46727"] You can try booting the machine with any Linux live CD. That will also test the optical drive. The 2.5" SATA hard drive should work. As far as the machine being able to run the latest OS X, it depends on which model it is. Find which model number it is and then access the Apple KB or ask here. Regards. [/QUOTE]
