HOOAH out tstillery Depends on how much you want to spend. A macbook pro is real nice. the Apple store is the best place to get it but other sites sell them too, like newegg. If you purchase it at newegg you have the advantage of no tax. apple store your going to have tax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlewis23 Posted November 12, 2007 CID Share Posted November 12, 2007 We reloaded os from dvd - no help ( did not reformat disc- how do you do it? ) get this fixed first. When you put in the OS disk and boot from that. Once in the setup, click the blue apple, or file, and look for disk utility. Once in there right click your hard drive, then click erase. if it asks for what you want to format it as use Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
