[QUOTE="sethbest, post: 1523650, member: 305098"] Thanks for the help everybody. I tried 10.5, 10.6, and 10.7, all to no avail. I did finally get it working though. I found an old hard drive drive with 10.6 on it from another system, loaded it up in the macbook, and then cloned it across to a new drive. This worked fine with a few errors so at this point I ran updates and then loaded 10.8 now it works like a charm. Why wouldn't it install from any media? I'm assuming it's a DVD drive issue or some weird disk controller hiccup. Either way the lady should be happy she doesn't have to shell out over a grand for a new system. Hopefully my efforts and mistakes will he helpful to anybody who runs into a similar issue in the future. [/QUOTE]
