Clean install, Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer
I just bought a macbook pro, 17" dual core intel w/2 gigs RAM, 149GB hd space, firmware completely up to date, on an estate sale. Disk utility says the hd is fine.
Went through all the steps to erase/repartition the hard drive. 1 partition, GUID, extended w/journaling.
I have snow leopard family pack with one or two licenses remaining. Trying to do clean install, keep getting message, "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer. Spoke with tech services, they confirmed that computer hardware is completely compatible with snow leopard.
I NEED HELP GETTING THIS THING UP AND RUNNING! Just trying to do a simple upgrade from OS X 10.4.11 that came on the notebook to snow leopard so I can do one or two more software updates.
