[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1403505, member: 56379"] You cannot install Leopard (OS 10.5) with that "Drop-In DVD". With that disk you need a previous OS version installed on the HD. That full retail Leopard DVD (black disk) should work fine...unless there is some other issue with the computer...or if the disk is damaged or scratched. You could also try installing Snow Leopard (OS 10.6) on the computer ($29 from the Apple online store). But if the computer has "issues"...then this won't work either. - Nick [/QUOTE]
