Well if its reverting back and its a floor model, it probably has a modified OS that will revert back to default after anything is installed/downloaded/changed. My high school used something like that. Every weekend they would throw a switch and revert the computers back to stock. Anything not saved to the network drive was lost.

Can I just call apple tomorrow morning? Will they be able to hook me up? Should I just trying and download the snow program again before I go to bed?

Yes this is exactly my problem they told me about it before I left with the computer but he said if I run snow that everything would be okay. What should I do know the bestbuy where I got the computer is 45 mins away so I really don't wanna go back there if I don't have to there were like 3 different people there who told me that this was going to work.

What is this for?

Man I hate to say it but this just goes to show you shouldnt buy the floor model, especially if its a computer. When I worked at Target the only time we were even allowed to sell the floor model was when it was seasonal stuff that had to go.

Dude I would go back to Best Buy and make them fix it. When I bought mine they were going to charge me $39 to load Snow and make sure all my settings were right. I didn't do it. But I know they must have some discs there somewhere and you need the other 2. You need the regular Leopard disc and the app disc. With all their open box stuff they are bound to have them there!
