Help!!!! Installing Leopard on eMac!!!

Are these the dark purple and black disk with a dark metallic gray "X" on them?

You error sounds like your disk are instead gray system install/restore disks that came with another Mac model. If they were for an Intel iMac, they won't work at all.

Can you provide a link to the amazon page that had the disks?

That's for Leopard server.

You need this.

http://www.amazon.com/Mac-OS-Version-10-5-6-Leopard/dp/B000FK88JK/ref=sr_1_1?ie= UTF8&qid=1307748102&sr=8-1

Make sure your Mac meets Leopard's minimum requirements.

Requirements for Mac OS X v10.5

Make sure there's enough free space to install Leopard.

Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.

disks i've bought boot up

If you are trying to boot from the Amazon discs, don't. Just insert the disc into the optical drive. The disc should mount on the Desktop.

If you still have problems, launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the FirstAid tab.

Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions). If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks.

No... I should have made this clearer.. my fault.

Since you don't have Leopard installed, run Disk Utility from the Applications/Utilities folder. If the startup disk needs repairing, use your original eMac install disc or your Tiger disc, to repair the hard drive.

but it does show up on startup disk, Disk Utility, and it also boots up.

Not sure what you mean by, "it also boots up"... you can't boot into Leopard without it being installed.

say the same thing that i'm missing something or the installer can't locate something.

Follow my instructions and check the startup disk in case it needs repairing BEFORE trying to install Leopard.

What exactly did Disk Utility report?
