[QUOTE="ClockworkWorld, post: 1179487, member: 182559"] 1 - You will have to purchase Snow Leopard, or another version of OS X. Unless you can find someone with the [b]exact[/b] year/make/model Mac, restore discs that came with anyone else's Mac won't work. Snow Leopard is 29 dollars. VERY cheap. Lion is just around the corner, but it would still be worth it to buy Snow Leopard in case you have problems between now and then :) 2 - You are indeed up the creek without a paddle. As far as I know there is no legal way to get discs for software someone else purchased. Short of buying a copy for yourself, of course :) 3 - If it's working properly and everything seems fine, you shouldn't need to have it looked at. :) Welcome to the forums and enjoy your Mac! :) [/QUOTE]
