Apr 7, 2016 9:06 PM in response to majed a.by theratter,Are you trying to use Internet/Network Recovery? That will not work on any model prior to Late 2010 or 2011. That is why the error number means. You need to do the following:
Snow Leopard Erase and Install
Be sure you back up your files.
- Insert Snow Leopard DVD into the optical drive and restart the computer.
- Immediately upon hearing the chime hold down the C key.
- Release the key when the Apple logo appears and wait for the loading to finish.
- After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After Disk Utility loads select the out-dented disk entry from the side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive size.) Click on the Partition tab in the Disk Utility’s right window. Set the number of partitions to (1) from the drop down menu. Click on Options button and select GUID, click on OK, set the Format type to MacOS Extended, Journaled. Finally, click on the Apply button.
- After formatting has finished quit Disk Utility. Continue with the OS X installation and follow the directions.
- When the installation has finished the computer will restart into the Setup Assistant. After you complete the Setup Assistant you will be running a fresh installation of Snow Leopard. Open Software Update and install the recommended updates.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. You can now access the App Store from which you can re-download El Capitan If your computer supports it or you can re-download Lion.
