The OSX 10.5 disk is expensive and difficult to get anyways

Hard disk manufacturers were actually sued for this

Snow leopard brings out your Mac's full potential by freeing up disk space, and adding features to enhance your already installed programs.

The disk was immediately rejected

Had to buy this when my hard drive crashed, and as I lost my original disk, need this to reboot.

If you are in the same position, just backup your system on Time Machine or what have you, install this on a fresh disk, let the computer run the latest OS updates and pull your data back over

Furthermore, the 6 gigabytes or more of hard disk space

but when I opened it the disk had scratches and even prints on it

This tells me the disk was defective.

If you download a file from the internet, now it'll magically change size after it reaches your hard disk from what was reported on the other end

The tip: OS X loves -- nay, it *needs* -- free disk space to operate optimally.

I carefully cleaned the back of the disk, attempted to once again install the software, only to receive the error message that my disk was damaged

The disk is trapped in the computer cuz it won't eject.

It told me I was out of disk space (I wasn't).I know all the great features Apple put into SL (which I why I upgraded so early in the life-cycle) and was loving them (smart disk eject, click and hold on an app in the Dock and see all the occurences of that app, super fast boot times, etc).

but I had to return the disk because it does not work on the Mac Mini with the core i5.

The extra space on the hard disk is always welcome

Then I formatted the hard disk and installed it from scratch

The disk was bad.

It did clear maybe 5 GB of Hard disk space so that is atleast good

(I have an AppleCare account), and they suggested that the disk might be defective and they have sent me a new, 'real' disk free of charge

Response on the browsers seems a bit quicker, and of course some space has been saved by the smaller hard disk requirements over Leopard.

Snow Leopard has some nice features, and it freed up about 48GB of hard disk space, however after loading it both my printer & scanner would not

The files shouldn't need to be in a certain location on the hard disk in order to be grouped together

SL is sleek, fast and gave back 7BG of hard disk space that was previous used by the Operating System

Snow Leopard apparently found out that I had a bad power supply which caused my hard disk to overheat
