I can almost guarantee that it will not work. AFAIK, there is no Intel
code on most of the black 10.4 retail discs. What happens when you try
to boot the MBP from the retail disc? Does it load the installer, then
tell you it will not install? If it does, then you might be able to make
it work.

Are you using a retail Tiger disc? The retail discs will not boot Intel Macs,

Please clear this for me, I'm under the impression that Intel machines only
boot with GUID partition table, is this correct? Because I can't boot my shirt
drive but it's Apple Partition Map.
I'm not giving up yet even though MBP says It can't accept my Tiger install
disk. I will try a CCC to one of my GUID shirt drives that has 10.6.2 on it and
boots the MBP. A guy at the Apple store said he thinks the MacBook Intel Tiger
is a special disk. I don't think that's the case.

Yes I have a retail Tiger disk. I'm at the moment doing a polish XPostFacto by
attempting to boot off a GUID disk with a Tiger system installed via CCC. This
method works on other machines
that say the machine cant boot or run this system:-)> Maybe it will work? No
real need for this other than to do it.
