How did you upgrade to Leopard? Upgrade? Archive and install? Erase and install?

I purchased Leopard at apple store and loaded new operating system onto mac pro with tiger.
Did not erase any data. I did however load leopard onto third hard drive as original was full and leopard does not let you back out after initializing.

It sounds like you did not upgrade Tiger at all, but instead did a fresh install of Leopard onto a new hard drive.

Now you need to go to Applications/Utilities/Migration Wizard and import the stuff you want from the Tiger drive into the Leopard OS.
