Ok, I just put a hard drive in my macbook because my hard drive went out... My macbook is a 2 GHZ intel core duo... I bought a used hard drive off of ebay... It is a Fujitsu 160GB 2.5" it does have the apple logo on the hard drive...

So, I put the new hard drive in and this is what it is doing... There is a folder in the middle of the screen and it is just flashing... I have a burned copy of leopard... I have never tested the DVD/CD before because I had no way to test it... This is what I am doing... I am installing the DVD/CD and holding down The control button then restarting the macbook... The macbook takes the DVD/CD and makes some noise that it is reading or trying to read maybe a minute or a little less goes by and it spits the dvd/cd back out...

So, I don't know if I need to format some other way or missing some step I need to do... Maybe my DVD/CD rom isn't working... It did work before the computers hard drive went out... Also, since I never had a way to test the DVD "CD" maybe its not a good copy...

Any suggestion before I go and buy an external DVD/CD drive to try that...

When you say you burned a copy of Leopard, are we to assume it's not an official Apple disc? No help here if that's the case. Buy Snow Leopard, it's cheap enough, and then try.

As Kevriano stated, no help for an illegal copy of Leopard. Either buy a legal copy or a copy of Snow Leopard as he advises. This thread is closed.
