That's odd.
Is a Leopard packaged DVD or one that came with a Mac other than your own?
I tried to load Leopard with the DVD that came with my sisters new MacBook, and it wouldn't run, I ended up having to buy it.

may be the drive
i know my mb cant read burnt dvd dl disks while my brothers can. however his same computer cant detect blank sl dvds yet can detect the sl dvd that i have burned on mine. really weird
do you have access to another computer? if so you can install it via target disk mode. or you can create an image in disk utility and restore that image to say a thumb drive and instal leopard that way
its a retail 10.5 it used to read so im assuming its dying it still reads regular dvds and cds so yea. and yea im gunna have to do the tdm i just hate lugging it down stairs to a small desk where my emac lays
btw to you dont just assume without knowing u pretty much look stupid assuming something i don't have..... (dont take personally In bad mood)
