formatted my macbook, tried to install osx 10.5 snow leopard with the discs it came with, it says I cant install it on this machine
so now I’m left with a macbook with no OS, any tips?
10.5 is leopard, 10.6 is snow leopard. Have you got the wrong disks? Which mac is it?
ahh it’s defo 10.5
they are the discs that came with it
macbook intel duo core purchased around summer 2008
2.4 ghz
proper strange
Um, when you formatted the hard drive using the utillities on the install disk (that is how you did it isn’t it?) which format version did you use?
If it wasn’t Mac OS Extended (Journaled), reformat with this option
yep did it with that! Think I’m going to have to make a genius bar appointment

Maybe, but I think I would try again.
