[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1645454, member: 56379"] Sure. Late 2008 MBP's can run any OS from 10.5.5 onwards. So if an OS older than Mavericks is desired you can install: - OS 10.5.x Leopard - OS 10.6 Snow Leopard - OS 10.7 Lion - OS 10.8 Mountain Lion OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) was the last OS X version that came on disk. So you could purchase a Snow Leopard install disc…and go from there. - You could also reinstall Yosemite. - Then (if you haven't already)…purchase & download Mountain Lion. - Then create a bootable installer USB stick (via any of the many procedures on the internet). - Then install Mountain Lion (since the USB stick of Mountain Lion you currently have seems to be defective). * Nick [/QUOTE]
