[QUOTE="rez, post: 1340300, member: 228220"] With the disk in the drive, start your machine while holding down the option (alt) key. Your machine should display the Startup Manager, and a list of icons that represent all of the bootable devices available to your Mac. This is with the Install disk however, not the Application disk. I do know that with 10.6 if you try a fresh install (which would solve the issue), it copies all your files over to the fresh install, but I cant be sure with 10.5 Leopard, someone else will have to confirm this process. Next step will be to verify/ repair the hardrive and permissions in my opinion. Get your hands on that install disk! [/QUOTE]
