Hello,
I recently upgrade HDD in my iMac 24" with 2.8GHz Extreme edition CPU.
Try to do fresh install of Leopard 10.5 on it and got this message OS-X cannot be installed on this computer.
Any idea? System can see and format new hard drive via Disk Utility, but no installation.

Configuration: Windows XP
Safari 525.13

Odds are the disk is not correct for the Mac

If generic Leopard may be to old if apparently new (came with computer) a accident may have happened and they are not actually the disks that belong to your mac (Big Box store Problem loose disks often)
