I'm officially panicking!
Are you holding down the C key immediately after you push the power
button and hear the startup chime? Hold it down until you hear the
DVD start twirling around in the drive, which means your Mac is
getting ready to boot from the Leopard disk.
Alternatively, put the Leopard DVD in the drive, then hold down the
Option key after you press the power button and hear the startup
chime. Wait a bit until all bootable volumes have shown up on the
grey screen. Then select the Leopard DVD as the boot disk (you might
have to wait a while before the system will let you select it), then
hit the Enter/Return key. Your Mac should begin booting from the
Leopard DVD.
Apparently I have a problem with my CD/DVD drive. It won't recognize
my Leopard disk. I put it in the drive and it spits it back out. I can
put it in my external DVD drive and it shows up just fine but I can't
boot from that drive.
God, I don't want to drive 2 hrs to the nearest Apple store to fix this.
