Hello, I have replaced the old HDD in my mid 2007 iMac with an SSD (Kingston 480 GB). I did not format the SSD prior to installation, just put it in right from the box. When trying to boot using the original Leopard DVD in the optical drive the screen remains stuck with a funny logo I had never seen before. I have attached a picture. The DVD starts spinning and it is being read for a while before this logo appears, then it stops spinning completely no more progress is shown. Any ideas of what might be happening? I appreciate any help.
Got a tip for us?

This logo represents the back of a Magic Mouse and it wants you to turn on your mouse/means that no mouse was found by the installer.
For macOS installs is better to use wired mouse/keyboard.
Awsome, thanks. My iMac is so old that I did't recognize the logo as a mouse!! I found out my mouse was indeed not properly connected. OSX is installing now. Thanks a lot.
