[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1527791"] It is very unlikely that you would find *exactly* the same model's discs, so I'd suggest a simpler solution would be to call Apple and order (for $20) a retail copy of Snow Leopard, which your 2009 MBP should be able to run. Use the disc to wipe the hard drive and install the OS, update it to 10.6.8 then go forward from there. Your machine should be able to run all the way up to Mountain Lion (mine does) and support up to 8GB RAM, possibly more. [/QUOTE]
