[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1120061, member: 24098"] It's not a lost cause, you just need the right disc. You have two options: 1. Purchase a retail copy of Mac OS X Snow Leopard ($30 from Apple) 2. Purchase a replacement set of system discs - but you'll need to call Apple and explain that you purchased a used machine without system discs and need replacements. They should run around $20-40 based on various accounts on this forum. Option 2 is the better one, since it will include all of the system software, including the iLife suite, which is well worth any extra money you'll spend. [/QUOTE]
