[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1535632, member: 56379"] Yes it will help. You need something to boot the computer with & install the OS from. The "system disk" will allow you to boot the computer (from the disk) and install the OS (10.6). At this point the MacBook Pro's hard drive is either dead...or it needs an OS installed on it (that's why you're seeing the "?" question mark). Without the "system disk" to boot the computer from...at this point...you will not know if the hard drive is dead...or just needs the OS installed. Get the OS 10.6 install disk (system disk).:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
