[QUOTE="Mr. D, post: 1526663, member: 192476"] I suspect I need to find Powerbook 10.5 or earlier discs, or the first upgrade disc sold after OS 10 hit the market. Apple's greed is making us afraid to buy it's upgrades since it is near impossible to go backwards if the upgrade causes you problems. Anyone have Powerbook discs or the first Powerbook OS 10 upgrade disc they don't need? Help! I can probably take it to an Apple Store & get charged $145. minimum to get the OS put back on it! Yikes! :Not-Amused: Good Idea "Hang on to those original install discs like grim death! Using OS X.7 or later make a bootable USB thumb drive before running Installer!" I tried to make a bootable external H.D., but it didn't work! What's the trick? [/QUOTE]
