Please clear this for me, I'm under the impression that Intel machines only boot with GUID partition table, is this correct? Because I can't boot my shirt drive but it's Apple Partition Map. I'm not giving up yet even though MBP says It can't accept my Tiger install disk. I will try a CCC to one of my GUID shirt drives that has 10.6.2 on it and boots the MBP. A guy at the Apple store said he thinks the MacBook Intel Tiger is a special disk. I don't think that's the case.
