macbook drama

[DeeJay-Mo]

My macbook broke and I have to install OS X again, but I've lost my original install disc.
I've ordered one from apple but it may take up to 28 days to arrive!
There is an install disc set that I can get with the following specs:

MacBook Mac OSX Install Disc 1 & 2
Mac OS Version 10.4.9
AHT Version 3A128
Disc Version 1.0
2Z691-5993-A

I know however that macs are very picky about having EXACTLY the right disc in order for it to work. Does anyone know if the above disc will work with a late 2006 model macbook?
Or does anyone have a late 2006 model macbook install disc that I can borrow for half an hour? I could make it worth your while.
Please help, I desperately need my lappy up and running again!

Any OS X install disc will work (so long as it's not a PPC disc).

You just need to install more updates in Software Update when you get in to OS X (a my experience goes)

Where are you based?

Your trust says Berks... where abouts?

I've got one here you can use if needed.

You sure? I tried a Core2 MBP set (10.4.8) in my original MPB and it told me to bolt. Some message about incorrect hardware.

I tried an Imac cd but it didn't work. It just said, this software cannot be installed on this computer.

Thanks a lot mate. I'm not far from you, in Reading. Would it be alright with you if I came to your place and borrowed it for a bit. I wouldn't need to take it away, I could do this install right there and then. Just tell me what you want in return. Beer, wine, spirits?
