cannot upgrade from osx 10.4 to anything!
Hi,
I brought this macbook a couple of years ago. It came with osx 10.6 but once the hardisk fail I have to reinstall it and the dvd was corrupt. I tried a lot of Osx retail dvd but I always get an error during the installing (you know, error messages in Osx install doen't give any details about the problem, just ask you to reinstall all over again).
The only one that worked was an 'old' Osx Tiger 10.4 I had from my iMac. It worked, but all try to upgrade to 10.5 or 10.6 gived an error during the installing (I burned a lot of DVDs dual layer in several machines, I also made some booteable usb devices... even my old iMac upgraded from that 10.4 to a 10.6.something only by executing the dmg file).
You know what can be the problem? This machine is from 2007 and originally camed to me with an snow leopard installed that worked fine. The Cdrom drive also works, as it installed right the 10.4...
EDIT: ITS AN A1181, I WAS SURE I WRITE THAT BUT...
Thanks in advance!
Is this a good question?

Do you have a retail version of the 10.6? Are your 10.6 disks gray?
