When you say downgrade to Tiger, did you boot from the Tiger disc and format the drive?

no ,i couldnt ,, i was trying to boot the tiger dvd by the common means ussing ,,"CMD-OPT-SHIFT-DELETE", ,or, "C",, boot key combos ,,didnt worked so i had to "sudo bless --device /dev/disk1s2 --setBoot",,, it booted the dvd but my dvd is not working b/c it freezes ,, then i took out the dvd thinking that everything will be the same but now i have this blue foder in the center of the screen with a smiling face ,, and it wont boot
