[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1158430, member: 46727"] Now I'm confused. If you bought your iMac at the end of 2008, it should have already come pre-installed with Leopard. That is, if you bought it new and not used. Tiger disk sets do not have any drivers for Windows so that's not an option. Drivers and boot camp are included with Leopard and Snow Leopard only. If you are using a Leopard DVD for your iMac and it's the correct one for that model, it should work OK. It can also be a black Leopard retail DVD - that too will work. Or, a Snow Leopard DVD ($29) will likewise work. However, if you're attempting to use a Leopard DVD for another model of iMac or MacBook, it will not install the correct drivers. Also, if your iMac is an older model that came pre-installed with Tiger, the only Leopard DVD that will work to install drivers is a black retail DVD. If that's the problem, just buy a Snow Leopard install DVD from Best Buy for $29. [/QUOTE]
