[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1087863, member: 56379"] Is this OS 10.5 Leopard disk a "full" install disk or a true "upgrade" disk? Apple did distribute a 10.5 upgrade disk that required the computer to have OS 10.4 "Tiger" be present before the "upgrade" to 10.5 could take place. So if you're trying to "downgrade" a computer from 10.6 to 10.5 using a 10.5 "upgrade" disk...it won't work since the upgrade disk is looking for 10.4 on the hard drive. I believe Apple actually called this a "Drop-In" Leopard (10.5) install disk. Of course if your 10.5 disk is a full install disk...then that's a different matter. - Nick [/QUOTE]
