I don't have BootCamp. I do have Parallels. I have read around this problem and it says Leopard can't be installed on Macbooks with Apple Partition Map formatting (which mine has). So I guess your steps (which I've seen somewhere else as well) are it. Wonder if it s worth it? I use so little of Leopard's features!<br />

Thanks, though, I'm closing the ticket.

Hi<br />
I bought a family pack retail Mac OS X 10.5.4 DVD last week to upgrade all my Macs. It installed fine on my iMac 7.1. However, on the MacBook 2.1 I am told I need to reformat the disk with a GUID partition Table, and everything will be erase in the process. This is rather drastic. I'd rather not lose all my apps and settings (data is backed up).<br />
<br />
I have 187GB available on the iMac, 78Gb of the 150Gb disc on the MacBook used and a Firewire cable. Can I make a plan somehow to get my apps and settings back after whatever it is needs to be done?<br />
<br />
Thanks for any help
