Hi
Been trying to re-install the Apple OS back to a friend's Mac Book Pro and not being familiar with the Macs (last used a PowerPC Mac System 7.10 that loooooonnnng ago!!) need some advice/pointers because I keep on getting knocked back during the stage when it says it wants to verify the eligibility of the OS download and says that I have to contact AppleCare directly - it is a 6-months old unit and the original problem was that it would not load past the Apple logo with the fan-wheel spinning endlessly and not booting to the desktop (I was told that the friend's missus shut down the notebook when it was half-way thru an update process)
I did the "Option" key thingy and was able to see the "Macintosh HD", "Windows 7" & "Recovery Disk" partitions
HEEEEELP!!:help:- any advice greatly appreciated
Cheers
Bill
