[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1337946, member: 56379"] This sounds like a Snow Leopard "Drop-In Disk". This is a Snow Leopard disk that was "dropped" into the box of a new Mac computer at the time Snow Leopard was first released...so that a person buying the new computer (with OS 10.5 already installed on it)...could upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6) for free. This Snow Leopard "Drop-In" disk (as you found out) requires that OS 10.5 be installed on the computer first. Luckily there is a less expensive method than purchasing Leopard ($80-$100) to install Snow Leopard on your sister's computer...and that's to purchase a Snow Leopard install disk 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 [/QUOTE]
