I have a Snow Leopard DVD. Is a disk image of that any use to you?
(Assuming I can remember how to make one after all these years lol)
cheers,
Jason

I thought that too Sam so tried again with the MacBook wired to the
router. Same result though.
I started looking at making a High Sierra boot USB disk but Apple make
it very difficult. Even Apple’s own High Sierra download links just
directs to the App store where the High Sierra download no longer
works - it just defaults to a Catalina download.
Think my only option to get the work I need from the MacBook is to
take the SSD out, put it in a case and connect via USB. Shame the old
Firewire 'Target Disc Mode” doesn’t work with USB.
Cheers

Afternoon all,
My Old 2009 MacBook was working fine this morning but is now
suddenly refusing to boot up. It gets to the grey screen and boot up
progress bar, freezes for a while and then offers me the system
re-install, restore from back up (nope, don’t have one), and first
aid options. If I choose the re-install option it reports that,
“the recovery server could not be contacted”. It’s running
High Sierra (that’s the latest OS it’s able to use) and has a
1TB SSD.
Ideas anybody?
Thanks
Phil
PS. It’s especially annoying ‘cause I did some work on the
laptop this morning that I now need access to.
