[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1649736, member: 131855"] The 2008 MacBook Pros came with disks. I believe they were gray and model specific. You cannot for example usually use an iMac disc to start a MacBook Pro. Do you know what OS version is on the machine at the moment. If it contains OS X 10.7 or higher there is a recovery partition. You can get to that partition by powering up the computer and immediately pressing the Command + R keys simultaneously. OS X versions up through 10.6.8 didn't have a recovery partition. The risk of loosing data while doing a repir should be low unless the drive is nearly dead and dies during the process but it is possible. [/QUOTE]
