I have a MacBook, 12 months old. The OS preinstalled when I bought it was Leopard. I have just sold it on ebay and so proceeded to erase the hard drive and reboot from disk. At this point I discover too late that the original DVD has Tiger 10.4.10!! Yes, I know now I should have checked the version - stupid - but I just never had any reason to look at the disks the whole time I had it and it didn't occur to me it might be wrong.
Apple (grr) refuse to help because the laptop is 3 days beyond its warranty. This is really annoying because I sold the thing on the basis that it had Leopard and now it doesn't so the guy will be quite within his rights to cancel the purchase.
Is there any way to reinstall Leopard without shelling out whatever is costs for a new copy? That would be maddening when I paid for the laptop having Leopard originally (I deliberately waited for the OS release). I have the install disks from my newer macbook but they won't work being model specific.
Is it ok to use a 2nd-hand copy from ebay, assuming it's a bona fide original Apple retail copy?
Thanks guys!
