Macbook Core
Can I use an iMac Leopard installation disk on my Macbook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo?

My friend gave me the two Leopard installation disks that came with her iMac. The first disk is labeled "iMac" (obviously). That aside, I tried to install Leopard on my MacBook Pro (2.16GHz Core 2 Duo). A message popped up telling me I couldn't install it on my computer. Is there a way, possibly using Disk Utility, to bypass this and still install Leopard onto my MBP?

No. Apple makes hardware-specific install packages for the different lines of computers so they are not the same and also have a hardware detection as part of the installer check at launch. It won't go on your MacBook Pro or anything else except another iMac that is the same age or newer than your friend's iMac.
