Hello,
I have a macbook running leopard and am upgrading to snow leopard. I have a back up from leopard on an external hard drive and I would like to completely wipe my computer, start fresh. However, I no longer have the leopard install disc but I do have the old tiger install disc. I am thinking to revert to tiger to restore the computer's settings and then upgrade to snow leopard. Will I still be able to restore select items from my Leopard back up?

If you want to upgrade to Snow Leopard, just do so. Forget about Tiger. Just install the Snow Leopard disk, follow the instructions. You can choose DISK UTILITY and erase the disk and when your done select from your backup disk what you want on your internal drive.
Ciao.
If you are going to Snow Leopard you can by the SL DVD from Apple for $29. It will boot your model Mac and start the install. It will also allow you to use Disk Utility to wipe, erase and format or re-partition and format the drive.
No need to start with an older OS. That is not doing a Clean Install of SL. That is installing SL over the top of some other, older, OS.
erase and install snow leopard
