[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1332716, member: 56379"] This is correct. The gray/silver disks that came with your iMac are specific for that model iMac...those disks won't work on your 2008 Mac Pro. The easy solution is purchase an OS 10.6 install disk from the Apple Store for $29: [url=http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA]Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.)[/url] HTH, - Nick p.s. Not sure if you're interested...but you can also install OS 10.7 "Lion" on your Mac Pro. You would need to update the OS to at least 10.6.6 first to get access to the "Mac App Store"...then you can purchase & download Lion (10.7) on your Mac Pro. [/QUOTE]
