Could be. I also found the DVD drive was not reading my new 10.5
DVD.  {I made it from a dmg file I had on hand....} I used a FW
cable & a Mini in Target Mode.

I first installed it on one of the PATA RAID's, then went back &
installed it on the SATA pair.

I now have 10.5 running on my "old faithful..." MDD. With it,
the latest CrashPlan update installed itself...and I'm on the
way.
