[QUOTE="liberator32, post: 1032478, member: 34043"] I have a buddy who just bought 40 or so macs for his business and they came with install discs etc (10.6 snow leopard I believe). My question is this: I have a white MacBook with 10.4.11 and wonder if the install discs he has will work on mine for the updated OS. His machines are all iMacs. I would imagine that doesn't matter but I could be wrong. Is there a limited number of installs per disc or anything like that? Are the discs specific (via serial numbers etc.) to the machine? What's involved in updating OS on a Mac? I have installed OS X before when my HD crashed. For an update do I need to wipe my HD? Thanks a lot! Brad [/QUOTE]
