Hi All,
I just need some clarification on this,
I've recently bought off a friend a Macbook Pro (A1150) with no installation disks as he was unable to find them. The operating system was corrupt and needed reinstalling, I borrowed a Leopard disk off my other half who has a Macbook (A1181) which came with it.
But when I tried to install this it came up with the "mac os x cannot be installed on this computer" error message, after a bit of research on here i'm led to believe that this is due to the disk not being compatible with a macbook pro?
If i purchase a Snow Leopard Retail disk will this allow me to install OSX to the macbook pro?
Thanks,
Antony.
