[QUOTE="midmarchsnow, post: 1334221, member: 226193"] So, this seems like the type of question that gets answered with lurking and good google-fu, but I can't find an answer and it's been getting late... The Full Story: This morning I marinated my 2008 MacBook in coffee. After a 12 hr dis- assemble dry the screen and the HDD were borked. I need a computer but I was perfectly happy with late Bush era technology and had no money so I bought a used 2008 MacBook from Microcenter. I had regular TimeMachine backups. I had recently upgraded to Lion, and my last dozen or so back-ups were while I was running Lion. The Microcenter MacBook runs OSX 10.5 Leopard. THE QUESTION: Should I reinstall snow leopard and lion first? Should I try and restore from the Time Machine first? Can I used my old Snow Leopard disc to install, or is it going to try and tell my I already used my individual liscence? [/QUOTE]
