[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1590478, member: 24160"] You have not researched enough. Having 10.6 installed will not prevent you from booting with the 10.5 disc that shipped with the machine unless there is something wrong with the disc or the drive. Just to finish off that last statement: The reason why erase is greyed out in Disk Utility is because you cant erase the boot disk "while you are booted to it". Hence the need for a separate boot disc. [/QUOTE]
