[QUOTE="PClover, post: 390246, member: 30970"] [COLOR="Black"]Hi guys this is my first post. I only use PC and the dreaded Microsoft. I am pretty capable with the PC and hardware software OS etc... I dont own a Mac but I need help with one. My friend has a power Mac and asked me to Format and do a fresh re-install. He really has no idea about computers, So i thought I would help him out. He does not have the original OS Disc. Is it possible to do a format and re-install without it ? Does this mean he needs to buy a new copy of OSX ? Not sure which version he has I thought since you can't buy OSX and it only comes with a Mac computer, should I not be able to get a new copy sent from Mac ? how does this work with lost OSX Discs etc... for re-installing Any help would be appreciated O:)[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
