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....
