Blue screen appears after installing Leopard and restarting

I tried to install Leopard on my MacBook but got the Blue screen after restarting. I found the apple support article number 306857 and tried option C without success. I don't have a firewire cable so option A is out. I don't know how to reinstall Leopard as Option B suggested. I can't get beyond the blue screen. Any suggestions?

The Apple site is under maintenance, so I can't check the details of the options, but I assume option C is the terminal, when you've started up in Safe Mode. This method worked for me on two machines. You need to type the commands precisely and exactly as they appear in the article, including spaces where appropriate.
To reinstall Leopard, start up with the installation disk in the drive, and when you hear the startup chime, hold down the C key on your keyboard. You need a USB keyboard. You should get the installation screen.

Thank you! I thought I had typed the commands precisely and exactly but after reading your comment I tried it again very slowly. I waited a couple of minutes after hitting return for each line and let the system process the request. It seems I rushed through it the first time. It started up right after entering the the "reboot" command and I was on my way. I did not need to reinstall Leopard. I am breathing again. Again, my thanks. Skylar
