[QUOTE="Shootist, post: 1374571, member: 232297"] The disk you are using is probably a older version of the OS you are now running, as you have done updates to the original OS. In that case the current OS does not want you to install Over The Top of what is now installed to an older version. To really Reset the system back to As Shipped From Factory you need to Boot the computer off that original install DVD. Then Wipe the drive, Run Disk Utility from the install DVD and Erase and or Repartition the drive as one partition then do the install of the original OS. [/QUOTE]
