I have an early 2008 mbp, i loaned a friend, and got it back with no operating system. I have a 2012 mac mini, with 10.9.3. and a back up disk, using CCC. in the past, i have used the back up disc as a startup disc, but that doesn't work for some reason. connecting to the back up disc with a firewire cable, nothing shows up on the mbp screen. usually pressing option key gives me choice of recovery partition. but i only get the curser, and nothing else happens.
any suggestions appreciated. I have a firewire and usb cable. but no system discs for the mbp, and the dvd drive probably doesn't work now
the mbp doesn't show up on the mac mini when connected, using the disc utility
