[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1161990, member: 46727"] Then why don't you try what s2odin suggested? Also, we are well aware that a retail Snow Leopard install DVD will work on both machines. What I was trying to point out to you is that the install disk you received with each machine, be it the MBP, or MB is specific for that machine's hardware. If you wish to swap out the HDD cable (goes from HDD connector to the logic board) you may be able to get one from [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The free repair manual[/url]. Let us know and Happy New Year. [/QUOTE]
