Can I reinstall 10.5 Leopard over upgraded MBP Snow Leopard?

by mds - 10/31/09 11:39 AM

I am having way too many problems with Snow Leopard... I lost communications with two printers in my office, lost emails, and just having way too many things to fix (should have waited). Can I reinstall OSX 10.5 (that came with my MBP 15)? I still have the original disks that came with the MBP.

Of course

but be aware that you will probably have to reformat and wipe the entire hard drive if you do. Downgrading from an OS tends to have that effect. Be sure to back up all of your data beforehand. Other than that, the restore disks should do the trick for you. Good luck, hope Leopard works better than SL did.
