[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1284639, member: 56379"] Well...I'm not going to comment on the hard drive erasure part!;) As far as the OS 10.5 install. You probably have an OS 10.5 "upgrade" disk (versus a full install retail disk)...which is why you need to have 10.4 installed first. Your options are to: - Purchase an OS 10.4 install disc/discs...then use your OS 10.5 "upgrade" disc. - Or purchase a full install OS 10.5 disk. In either case...it's going to cost you $75-$100 bucks (e-Bay). HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
