I have a friend that wants to reinstall her OS but she does not have the disc. Will snow leopard work?
Got a tip for us?

Is there anyway to get a hold of a 2005 macbook pro disc?

Yes, they can either buy a retail SL disk or contact Apple for replacements for the original install disks.
Are you sure it is a MacBook Pro?
Because the first MBP was released in 1/2006 and in 2005 only the PowerBook was available.

If it is a MBP, then GGJstudios is on the right track, this time at last.

Good point. I assumed the OP was wrong about the year. If it's indeed a PowerBook, SL won't run on it.

At least once a week it seems then. Mathematics are fascinating, and my Minecraft playing table neighbour has created a new map in between.
Then it's from 2006 or later. You can find the exact model by clicking:

A retail version of Snow Leopard will, but not a copy of Snow Leopard that came with your mac.

Any where I can find how to open this model? I have a mid 2010 model and this one is very different.
It uses 2.5" S-ATA HDDs with a maximum height of 9.5mm.

Got it on ifixit. I was looking for a video but they are hard to find. Ifixit had what I needed though.
Looking at a scorpio black HDD. But it does not have the dimensions on the box.

Google is such an amazing tool for finding answers to simple questions! Where did you ever find such a magical thing???? I wonder if anyone can use it, or is it just for you?

You could use it once too, don't you remember? Or can't you search your memory any more? Do I have to show it to you again?
