[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1643486, member: 42497"] G'day and welcome tot he forums. That must have been the version of your system DVD. Update to version OS X.6.8 and you will be able to access the App Store. Download Yosemite OS X.10 which is free however you will need an Apple ID to download from the Sore. You will not require the intermediate operating system. Burn it to an 8GB USB thumb drive using Lion DiskMakerX prior to running, boot from the thumb drive, erase the drive and do a clean install and update to OS X.10.2. Of course do a backup to an external drive first, which one assumes you have? Be aware older PowerPC applications, such as Office 2004 etc will not work. Also you have not told us how much memory is installed in the MBP. The Mid 2009 model can handle 8GB and many recommend this as a minimum for Yosemite.
