[QUOTE="danbeaulieu, post: 990969, member: 142287"] Hi guys, I just bought a used macbook pro off a friend, actually I bought it a few months ago and let him use it until he graduated. It had mac osx on it when I bought it. But the idiot formatted it and put xp on it so he could play some stupid web based game. Anyway. I have 4 Mac Osx disks, 1 being an official copy. When I put the real copy in the drive it boots to the disk but says it cant install on this machine. The other disks just lead to a black screen with a blinking cursor, I've tried holding c while booting as well as holding the option key while booting. These disks work on other PC's. What am I doing wrong? (sorry for the repeat post, kill 1?) [/QUOTE]
