A few days ago one of my Macbooks crashed for an unknown reason. I tried running the Disc Utility and tried to "Repair" the disc, but it said it didn't find any errors. I found the disc that came with that particular macbook and I formatted the hard drive and reinstalled the OS. I ran the system updates and now I'm currently running 10.4.11
I recently purchased a new apple computer and it came with an Install DVD for OSX 10.6.1
Is it possible to update/upgrade my operating system with a disc that didn't come with it? I tried putting in the 10.6.1 disc, and when I click INSTALL MAC OSX, it'll say it needs to restart. I click restart, and then when it reboots, it simply says (something along the lines of) "Cannot install at this time" and gives me an option to RESTART.
Is there a way around this? I'd like to have the latest version of OSX on this machine, but I can't find a way to get it installed from the discs I have.
Thanks.
