[QUOTE="esable72, post: 1590464, member: 328605"] It's not that the 10.5 disk can't boot because it's damaged, or because their is a problem with the drive, it's that it won't boot because it's not the current OS. I've researched this to death and can find no solution. As far as I can tell, there is no way to format a 10.6 machine with a 10.5 disk. Simply erasing is also not an option as the format options under the erase tab are grayed out. [/QUOTE]
