OS 10.5 - Tiger and Leopard! a middlephyte's dilemma

For reasons too sad to share, I now have Tiger on my external drive and Leopard on my internal.

What I’d like to do with my MacBook:

1) Transfer all functionality and data to the internal drive. (files, mail, mail folders, photos, etc.)

2) Use the external drive for back up using Timemachine.

Problems:

1) Have no install disks.

2) External drive is Tiger, internal drive is Leopard.

Any suggestions? Please be step by step...I'm a middlephyte.

Thanks

Tiger and Leopard! a middlephyte's dilemma

What I’d like to do with my MacBook

1) Transfer all functionality and data to the internal drive. (files, mail, saved mail folders, photos, etc.)

2) Use the external drive for back up using Timemachine.

Problems:

1) Have no install disks. (however can get a Leopard one if needed.)

2) External drive is Tiger, internal drive is Leopard.

Is there someone who can give me advice. It needs to be simple so that the middlephyte can follow!

Thank you.

I still don't understand what you're trying to accomplish. Perhaps I just don't understand the scenario.

Is it that you're wanting to upgrade your machine to Leopard, but you don't have the media?

Use the Migration Assistant on your internal drive to import your user folders and data from the external drive.
