hello...

helping a friend with a macbook pro. when trying to load Mac OS X v 10.4.6 it prompts the following at startup:
" "This software cannot be installed on this computer."

we can partition drive with DU but wonder if 10.4.6 is compatible with this model. please advise.

thx

If you are using a retail 10.4.x (which is only PPC) or PowerPC version of the installer (e.g., from another Mac's restore disc), then no, it won't work and is not compatible.

Thanks for the input = )
