I have a OSX Snow Leapord disc but when I instert it it says it can't install it. Could restore my computer with going into osx recovery and using this disc?
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
OS X Recovery is designated for Macs running v10.7 or v10.8 only
Your proflie indicates you have 10.5.8 installed but you are trying to restore using v10.6?
That won't work.

I do not have the discs that originally came with it
Then you won't be able to restore v10.5 with the Snow Leopard disc.
You can contact Apple 800-767-2775 to replace your install disc. They will charge shipping and handling.
You will need the serial number for your Mac to do so.

But could I at least restore back to snow leapord and redownload the latest software again from the app store? Thanks for the help
Afraid not. You can't restore a Mac to factory settings using a disc not designated for that OS X.
But as I mentioned previously, you can call Apple for a replacement install disc.
SO anything I could do?
Read my previous post. Call Apple.
Okay, thank you for your help
You're welcome 🙂
