I think I deleted Disk utility accidentally. I have tried everything suggested at this site and still can't find it. Should I reinstall Leopard or insert "Mac OS X Install Disc or the G5 Additional Software & Apple Hardware Test. I have an IMac PPC G5 10.5.8. I don't want to cause any other problems by doing the wrong thing.
Did you check the Mac trash by chance? And try using Spotlight to search for the Disk Utility app. And check Applications/Utilities.
I just checked the Optional Installs pkg on my Leopard disc and opened the Applications folder. I don't see Disk Utilty.
You can do an Archive & Install but with any installation, make sure your important data is backed up first.
Installing Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
See: Installation Options
Here is a useful tip: Your computer will not let you delete system related software. To find this: Click on your Macintosh Icon on your Desktop. Then find Utilities. Disk setups and other utilties are in there also.

I clicked on the Macintosh icon but there was no Disk utilities in the Utilities folder. I don't know where it could have gone. It disappeared when I was trying to get a disc out of the drive that wouldn't eject.
Then I suggest you perform an Archive and Install
Let us know how you make out.
I checked trash and it wasn't there. I don't know what Spotlight is!
Spotlight is the magnifying glass icon to the far right of your Menu bar. Click on it and type Disk Utility in the little window that appears.
I don't think I have Spotlight. There is no magnifying glass icon anywhere and I went to "Find" and can't find it. Should I have it? I have a PPC G5 10.5.8.
I found Spotlight and tried to find "disk utility" but it didn't show up.
