[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 881832, member: 56379"] Welcome to the forum! The disk you used from your friends MacBook Pro is a "model specific" startup/reinstall disk meant only for your friends MacBook Pro. I'm sort of surprised that it actually installed Mac OS 10.5.7...usually if you insert a disk meant for a different model laptop...it just gets rejected. I think that the solution in this matter is you need to reinstall Mac OS 10.4. Get your Mac OS 10.4 install disk(s)...and do an install. Hope this helps, please let us know if it was successful, - Nick [/QUOTE]
