[QUOTE="McYukon, post: 958877, member: 101117"] My dad is trying to install Mac OS 10.5.4 on his MacBook Pro pre-unibody with Mac OS 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard) installed. Now, for some reason when booting from the store bought disk (not the grey ones that come with the computer), we get this error message "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer. See the Read Before You Install help file." I read on some website that trying to install on a computer that didn't exist at the time the disk was made may cause trouble. Is this correct or is there another reason it won't work? [/QUOTE]
