[QUOTE="DarkestRitual, post: 912983, member: 96273"] boot from the leopard disc, install leopard (preferably through an archive and install method), update leopard to 10.5.8, install snow leopard again, try the software disc again... my question is why weren't you running the latest version of leopard? did you not have automatic updates enabled? If not, did you just ignore the prompt every time it asked you to install? Do you have really slow internet or something that would keep you from wanting to update? Excuse me if I'm being rude by asking or something, it just seems odd to me to not want to update when they become available, especially for someone who is excited about upgrading to 10.6... I always assumed that people installed the OS patch updates happily because, well, they're not a whole new OS, but they do offer either new features or better support. If you didn't back anything up under snow leopard with time machine, you could probably boot from your leopard disc, zap the hard disk, and then restore from a time machine back up into whatever version of leopard you were running. Don't take my word for that though, wait for someone else to confirm. [/QUOTE]
