[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1348002, member: 38864"] Correct. Ignore the advice from microsnook. Or try it for kicks. Mac OS 10.5 most likely doesn't have the drivers to support your hardware. EDIT: Just to elaborate: That MBP was released mid 2010 and came preinstalled with 10.6.3. The last update to 10.5 was 10.5.8 in August 2009. The hardware at the time was Core 2 Duo. The "i" series came first in the iMac in October 2009, which itself shipped with 10.6.1. Apple would never have had a reason to include driver support in 10.5.8 or earlier for such a significant hardware revision that 10.5 never even shipped on, had already been superseded by 10.6, and even required an update to 10.6.1.
