[bns1201]

I just got a MBP off of ebay and I would just like to wipe it clean. Can i start everything over using an iMac install disc that i have? or should i wait till friday to just do leopard on it.

Nope

It won't work.

Retail discs will work on any Mac (starting with Leopard), but system discs can only be used on the system they came with.

It won't work, at least not legally. Wait until Friday. It's not worth installing Tiger only to upgrade a few days later. Just start fresh.

Like Appleretailguy said.. it will not work.. it will pop up a message saying it cant be installed on that computer.
