[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1586946, member: 42497"] Re-iterate Nicks question about being sure these discs came with the computer? The original system discs for the 2.8GHz Mac Pro 3.1 were OS X.5.1 for early 2008 models and X.5.2 later models in 2008. Discs from another Mac Pro, let alone a different model, may well not work as they are extremely model specific. Popping in disc one, rebooting and holding down 'C' should boot from the DVD to the Installer. Even with a failed or blank hard drive this should happen. If it is not booting either a failed optical drive or back to the video card Steve. [/QUOTE]
