[QUOTE="Fuze, post: 1309809, member: 218213"] Hmmm I guess all the answers I was looking for are here. So basically if we do a clean install we absolutely need the licensed disc that came with the machine. My friend bought a MBP 17 that was manufactured in 2006. back then it came with Tiger. So does that mean we need to buy Tiger, then pay to upgrade to SL? The previous owner had SL when he sold it to my friend last year, but the hard drive is defective and I can't install SL from a more recent DVD (from my MBP13 2010). Unfortunately he didn't make a backup with time machine before it busted. Thanks [/QUOTE]
