Hi guys,

I had a quick search through the forums here but didn't find exactly what I'm after.

Basically, my wife has a MacBook Pro (running OSX 5.8) but not the original install DVD (as she bought it second hand).

I'd like to make a bootable CD/DVD for her, as wanted to know the best way to do this.

If there is a tread already about this, please just direct me there!

Thanks guys!

My suggestion is to keep things legal and buy a set of OS X Disks for your wife's MBP.

Cheers ... McBie

Go out to eBay etc and pay about $100 for a black full retail install DVD. If it is a Core 2 Duo even cheaper to purchase Snow Leopard OS X.6, and then buy Lion OS X.7 from the App Store.
