We'll need to know the specs and year of your iMac. Did the Snow Leopard disk come with your iMac or did you buy it after the fact? Which disk came with your iMac?

If this is the case...then you must have an OS 10.6 "Drop-In" disk...which as you mentioned...requires OS 10.5 be installed on the HD for the disk to work.

Assuming that your iMac can run 10.6...you have 2 choices:

1. Purchase a 10.5 install disk (e-Bay) for $80-$100 bucks.
2. Purchase a "stand-alone" retail OS 10.6 install disk (does not need 10.5)...for around $29.

Of course if you have no money...then neither of these solution will be of much use...since you need money for either solution.

Let's start with the basics: is this an Intel Mac?

Yes: Buy the Snow Leopard retail disk from Apple (you'll have to call them) for $29
No: You can't upgrade to Snow Leopard. Leopard is as far as you can go. As Pigoo3 mentioned, that will cost you a bundle.

Agreed with the others. Please give us your specs.

I changed the thread title from Lepor to Leopard! :D
