Leopard Install Disc

I have misplaced my Leapord Install Disc and I need to use it.

If I borrowed a disc from a friend in real life would that work or does each disc only work on the specific Mac it came with?

Also, does Apple give out replacement discs or would I have to purchase Leopard again?

Generally speaking, with some exceptions whenever a disk is released it has support for all hardware that came before it. So if his disk is same as your old one or newer, it will probably work.
 
Hmm...I guess I'll give it a shot.

Now all I have to do is find out which of my friends have their install discs....
 
so say if i had to rebuild my gf's 2.4 alum macbook using my white macbook DVDs (assume both are '09 models), it would not work? 😕, that sucks.

That is most likely correct. The only safe thing to do is keep your restore disks for all models that you own.
 
Apple will replace your original install disks - it's called fulfillment disks, about $20 each. just give them a call.
