How to Restore Under Leopard?

Doesn't seem possible that the problem could still exist, but it does.

One thing I'll mention is that my MBP hard drive is partitioned into a Mac HD and a Windows HD. I've just erased the Mac HD when doing the clean install, since I didn't want to have to restore everything on the Windows side as well. Is there any reason to believe something on the Windows partition could still be having an effect on the Mac partition even after running the clean install?

That's strange. I migrated my Tiger 10.4.10 to Leopard using clean install of Leopard and migrated my tiger clone.

No problems at all except one I need to enter my serial #, and another I had to reinstall (I got the warning when migrated) out of hundreds of programs I have.
