[QUOTE="McYukon, post: 1032485, member: 101117"] No the install disks that come with apple computers are machine specific, so the disks from the iMacs would not work with your MacBook. Besides it would violate apples EULA, you can't use a disk for more than one computer legally. You need to buy yourself a disk from apple, $29 and you get a full update. [URL="http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC223Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA&mco=MTU0Mjk0NjA"]Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.)[/URL] For updating the OS, you will not have to wipe the HD, you simply put the disk in and boot from it and follow the instructions. It takes about 30 mins for the install to complete. But backup your data first, just in case something goes wrong. Cheers, [/QUOTE]
