I have been having problems with my Mac Mini running too slow lately after the last update was performed. Last night I decided to do an erase and reinstall of the operating system. I didn't do partiton which now I wish I would have anyway so now instead of the computer running 10.5.7 it is running 10.3.9. is there anyway I can get it back to running 10.5.7?

Mac Mini Specs
Machine Model: Mac mini
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.2)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.42 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.8.9f1
 
You need to borrow or buy a 10.5 install DVD, or pay/beg someone to upgrade it for you.

How did you upgrade it to 10.5 before? Or did you buy the Mini used and it already had 10.5 on it?

If you're near a major city, check Craigslist, there are almost always 10.5 discs for sale there, normally no more than $30, although beware of scammers.
