Selling old Macbook

[Osubuck37]

I currently have the 2008 unibody Macbook 2008 running Snow Leopard that I want to sell. However, I lost the install disk.

Is there any way to rproperly sell this computer without having the install disk?

And if I have to buy a new disk, should I just rebuy the Snow Leopard, or get something else?

This computer is 2ghz intel core duo with 4gb of ram.

Thanks in advance!!

You have two options really. If you want to do a clean install of the operating system in this case Snow Leopard but, you will have to acquire an install disc somehow. Or you can get OS X Yosemite and make a bootable USB drive and use that to do a clean install and install OS X Yosemite in the process.

That's the easiest and quickest way.

Thanks for the responses. I wish I wasn't so computer illiterate because that process seems rather tricky.

- It's quite easy actually. Just download Yosemite from the Mac App Store and then use DiskMaker X to create your installation disk on a USB pen drive or an SD card. It'll do everything for you automatically with a few mouse clicks.

No it is not tricky.

I'd actually go for Mavericks instead of Yosemite if possible on such older MB.

I have a 2008 unibody and I loved Snow Leopard on it. When I get a new MBP, I'm going to wipe the unibody and reinstall with SL
