Hello, I have a Macbook pro i5 2.4, 15" Display I purchased it on march 2010.i replaced the hard drive on it but can not find my install dvd's, my wife threw away the box, and i have a bad feeling she also threw away the disk, Does any one know where i could buy the Disk for my computer. I tried to use me mac book pro 13" Install disk but no luck. I tried to use the Snow leopard disk i used to upgrade my late 2008 laptop but does not work either. Thanks for any advice.
Got a tip for us?

i hate recovery discs and whomever thought of them. yes i want all my software on separate discs IF they have separate licenses.
curious why that snow leopard didnt install. is it the upgrade? is there no way to get the upgrade to install on a clean drive? that sucks if you truly cannot.

Yeah i tried snow Leopard, I thought it was a full version, But it just hangs on The apple logo, Will not Install.

It is a full version. The reason it won't boot off of it is because the 2010 MBP's can't boot off of anything earlier than 10.6.3. The retail discs have 10.6(.0) on them. This is the reason it won't work.
Thanks! I just called apple gave them the serial number and they are going to ship a disk to me, they said it will take about 2 to 3 days I hope i get it by friday

Whaaat???? It took me 2-3 weeks to get my replacement disc 1 (not even disc 2).
Wow! 2 weeks, Well i was thinking about trying Microcenter, And just see if i could buy a full install from them. Could i buy i Full install from them?
I have 2010 MBP and same issue happened ... I got the CD from the store and it is 10.6.3...
how to resolve this issue ?
thnx
The first models of the 2010 MBP's shipped a custom version of 10.6.3 that has specialized drivers for the new hardware included in them. When I say the first models, I mean the ones that were shipped in April/May. Some shipped with 10.6.4. All versions of 10.6.4 work on all Intel machines that meet the system requirements of snow leopard. This includes all of the 2010 MBP's.
This is why I put the install disc onto a USB flash drive.

I got tht, Thnx a lot.
So, the only luck we have is to wait for 10.6.5 to be sold in stores ...
Right?
They were going to charge me $30.00 dollars for both disk with iLife, but i told them i only needed the Install Disk, as i just purchased iLife a week earlier, So they shipped it for free. No Charge, I still have not received it yet.
