My HDD on my Macbook(2008) recently died, I plan on getting a replacement today however i do not have the disc that came with it when i originally bought it however i do have a Snow Leopard disc that bought and never used to update after i install the HDD could i just use the Snow Leopard disc to install the software?



ps : My warranty ran out some time ago.

    Yes. The Snow Leopard disc does not require an extant system on the hard drive.
