Sounds good nixgeek - I will have a go at that and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the help and link.

Morning guys!!! Right, after another night of Apple bashing... I left the DVD to run through the initial verification process. It was fine. So it is not the DVD or my DVD player I assume? I got to about 4 minutes left on the install...I will check to see it there is any firmware that I need to...

Unfortunately, I've already tried that (and erased all the information on one drive doing a clean install!). Would I be advised to do a format?

I'll give it a go. Problem with the DVD is that I bought it off the dreaded Ebay! It is an original, but obviously I don't have the original receipt....You're gonna say, told you so.... :-)

I think the machine is a bit old now for Apple to care!!! I haven't touched it is several years. I might try and yank some RAM out and format the disk. What would be the best format?

I have started from the install disk and repaired permissions and HD. Both disks have around 100 - 200 Gb. Should I try formatting the HD from the install disk?

It is an original black installation disk. Not a grey bootable disk. Help????

Hi - have recently bought 10.5 and have tried upgrading from 10.3.9 on my Dual G5 1.8GHz. I start the upgrade process, update and archive and the process gets half way (or so) through (differs each time!) and then I get a yellow warning triangle with the message, Can't write to volume, please...
