[quote modelamac]DW 4.1 DVD will boot in Tiger, but not Leo. The Alsoft site tells you that. There are simple instructions on how to make a bootable DVD.
I'm not sure what you mean by "will boot in Tiger, but not Leo". Wouldn't it boot whatever OS is on the DVD? It seems like you are saying the hard drive has to have Tiger on it in order for the DVD to boot.
I used Disk Utility to burn the DW 4.1 disk image file to a DVD. Disk Utility hung on "closing session" so I hit cancel, but the DVD mounted anyway, so I tried to boot the bad MBP with the DVD, but got the folder with ?. I figured the burn was bad and it would mount but not boot.
I searched all the included manuals for "bootable" but came up with nil. It was late and I was tired, so it's possible I missed something, but even a Google search on "Disk warrior bootable DVD" came up with no useful info.
