[QUOTE="argostar, post: 1606682, member: 333680"] [b]Hi McBie[/b] McBie, Thanks for picking up. Luckily I have just 3 mac's all of different flavours (imac, MacBook Black and MacBookPro 15" and Apple prints the name on the label so there is no mistake on using the right CDS. I have install disks for all 3, they are grey original apple ones and have the make and model printed on it. The one I am using is the one with 'MacBook Pro 15"' written on it - the others don't. So I am 100% confident it is the right and original apple disk. I also have the application install disk (grey) as well. In terms of what OS am I trying to install - with 3 macs at various versions it is hard to remember and stupidly I haven't written it down. I'm reluctant to try the install disk in any of the other machines to see what is on it as I suspect it may obliterate things, and as I can't get past the ?folder I can't see what was on the MBP at its death. I've checked the AHT result which I photo'd but it doesn't have the OS on it. The CD doesn't have the OS version on it. I've tried again with 3 different DVD's ranging from IronMan to Miss Marple :) and it likes those - doesn't spit them out but the install disk comes straight back out after 15 sec or so.
