[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1639091, member: 56379"] Thanks for all the info.:) I think that the deal is...your Mac-Mini came with Mountain Lion (10.8) when you purchased it. But you never actually purchased Mountain Lion...and that's why it is not showing up in your Mac App Store "purchases" list. Mountain Lion is not free like Mavericks or Yosemite...it's $19.99. Now what I think that you can do is (since your Mini came with Mountain Lion when it was new). Call Apple...explain to them the situation...and ask them if they can send you Mountain Lion (or update your App Store account so you can download Mountain Lion for free). If Apple will not do this...and you want to make a bootable thumb drive of Mountian Lion...then you may need to purchase Mountian Lion for $19.99. But I think that you should have a pretty good shot at getting Mountain Lion for free when you speak with Apple (since your Mini came with it originally).:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
