The issue is that I have the MBPro discs (Leopard) that came with the machine in Feb 2009. I have the SL update disc. I don't have a free drive partition to make a full snow leopard install and create a disk image from it. I will try to free up space at some point to do that. But I'm all set now; I went to the Apple Store and they did a restore from their snow leopard image in 11 minutes.
