So I used Nero to burn the 6.56gb copy of Leopard that I found. I burned it on my desktop PC.
When I put it into a Mac, it reads it fine while booted into the OS, however when it requires a reboot, it does not recognize the disc as bootable.
Is there a certain program I need to use in order for the disc to be read like a normal install disc? (I'm using a PC)
Can you burn it with Toast on the Mac? We're not going to support pirated copies btw.

You should read up on burning bootable Mac OS X install discs... do a Google search. I'm not gonna offer much more support on pirating stuff.
In case you happen to find a guide for burning 10.2 from a PC... use it for 10.5. All the information is still relevant.
I really didn't read through it, but maybe
This Post Here can help?

I'm sorry if there was a rule I didn't read about pirated software, I didn't read the rules. Thanks for the replies though!

Psst - Leopard is much larger than 6.56GB, which is probably part of your problem.

It would be a smarter option to bun it on a Mac...

It would be even smarter to just use disk utility to throw the install image on a partition without burning it at all
It would be smarter to buy the disc.

Grab a spare Hard Drive, or toss the Cat onto an iPod, make sure they're formated and partitioned appropriately for the Mac (I'll assume hackintosh with Intel, so the partition should be GUID) you plan to install on. I've been away from the Windows side of things, thus don't know of any burning app like Nero that can burn Mac format dics. If you do insist on burning the image, get a DL DVD, single layer is no go.
When I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, I use an old 30GB iPod w/USB.
