[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1008270, member: 46727"] Probably not. Apple will check it against the SN and they'll know the machine is older than 3 years. Besides, when your brother bought the machine and Apple care at the same time, Apple usually registers it automatically. They did that with mine. As for the disk you have being a wrong or bad one, I thought you had the original install disk that came with the machine? If you were able to read the Ubuntu disk that's a good sign. Might be worth your while to purchase a retail copy of Snow Leopard. ($29.99) Try using that to see what happens. BTW, did Apple charge you for the call? Regards. [/QUOTE]
