Mac OS X Tiger or leopard

[JakeNTech]

Hi, I have an macbook pro 1,1 that currently needs an os. I have tried installing snow leopard onto it but I get an error message saying that it's not supported. Therefor I want to try tiger or snow leopard but I can't find an installer for them. Any ideas how I could get one? And yes I have tried googling it. Thanks

Turn it on holding command and R and install the OS.

 

You can upgrade it to the latest it can run once you're in.

 

You don't need install media, Mac's can do it all themselves.

Mac OS X Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard only comes in a DVD installer. You can try finding installation discs online. Try eBay.

You have to use 32 bit Snow Leopard.

 

Also, what is on it now?

At the moment it's got windows xp on lol. It's the only thing I could find that would install.

My plan was to sell it anyway so it does't really matter it's just a nice to have. I must admit that I didn't think of that anyway. Thanks all the same!

I would say on a Core Duo MBP, Leopard would be the best choice between the two, It can run up to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
