I have an MBP 3,1 (Mid-late 2007 model) and I'm trying to reinstall Snow Leopard. I don't have the original discs with my Mac, I got an original Snow Leopard install disc from another MacBook Pro but when I try to install says "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer".
Is there any way to re-install Snow Leopard on my machine?
Things might install fine, but just to be sure: officially the US$30 Snow Leopard is an upgrade from Leopard -- and maybe it somehow checks for that? The much more expensive Mac Box Set is not an upgrade (and comes with a lot of other software, which effectively makes SL not too expensive, if you'd need the other software). – Arjan – 2010-09-13T21:51:34.710
@Arjan: FWIW, the "upgrade" doesn't actually do any checks, but I'm under the assumption that the OP already has a legal license for Snow Leopard. – Chealion – 2010-09-14T02:20:09.903
