[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 883457, member: 24098"] Try this. Put the disc in the drive, turn the machine and hold the option key down rather than 'C'. This should present you with a list of bootable media, including the disc. I've had mixed results using 'C' key, but never with the Option key. You did mention that it's a retail DVD and I think you said it was for 10.5.6 - make sure that's the case, because if it's 10.4 (Tiger), be aware that there was never a retail edition of Tiger that was for Intel machines.
