Having a real head fuck here at the moment and already snapped at the wife.
Selling my old MBP 2009 model.
Originally came with snow leopard for which I still have install disks for.
As it is going to new owner I deleted my user account and then wiped the disk with disk utility after rebooting doing ctrl+r
Now it wont let me restore from dvd as it says it cant install to shown hard drive or from online as saying there is an error with disk.
It did used to have mavericks on it.
Disk utility says hard drive ok.
Shall I just make another partition and see if it will install on there or am I doing something totally dumb?
