Can Anyone Assist Please?
I recently took an MacBook in part exchange but unfortunately the previous owner couldnt get on with the Mac software and had XP loaded instead.
Now I would like to restore the software.
So if anyone has a Mac OS disk preferably Leopard please PM or call me.
Thanks
Andy

Andy,
Are you sure it's not just on there but the machine is set to startup from just XP? Have look in control panels to see if there is an "Apple Boot Camp" (might just be called Boot Camp) item, if there is, go into it and there should be a Startup Disk option, this should, hopefully, show the OS X partition on the disk, so select that as the startup disk and then click the "restart" button. The machine will then reboot into OS X.

No if that was the case I could of made an image, unfortunately the hard drive was wiped and reinstalled. I've since pulled the 120Gb drive and replaced it with a 320Gb.
