[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1158510, member: 56379"] I'm really trying to help you out...but you're really not helping with the details. I asked what model Mac Pro you have...and all you said was "Mac Pro". Various different models of Mac Pros have been released since 2006...so you can't just say you have a Mac Pro. If this is a newer model Mac Pro (which is why I asked what model Mac Pro you have)...then you CANNOT install OS 10.5.1 because that version of the OS is TOO OLD! Earlier in this thread you said that you were trying to: - do a "clean install". - then you said that you only have the gray disk #1...and don't have disk #2 - I said if you don't have disk #2 (when the computer asks for it)...then you can't do the install. - I suggested buying an OS 10.6 disk - you wrote back saying "it just sits on the gray screen" - I asked again what are you doing (since you did not provide enough details) - you said installing OS 10.5.1 (is this from the gray disk #1 without having disk #2???...who knows...you don't tell us). Again I'm going to say...purchase an OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install disk for $29 from your local Apple Store. Enough said...good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
