Thread: OSX 10.3 Boot disc Troubles

I am having trouble getting my powerbook g4 to boot to the 10.3 install media. I was wondering if anyone else has the same trouble.
When I insert the first disc and select install, it prompts me to restart the computer to continue the installation. It reboots, I get the gray screen and greyer apple. It sits there for a moment reving the cd drive and then something weird happens. The apple logo shifts over to the right and quits responding. I have to pull the battery and plug out to get it to restart. I have goofed up this current install (gigs and gigs of data are missing out of my hd and I can't find the files taking up the space) and would just like to start fresh.

Don't do anything with the CD in the OS just restart the computer
With the disc in the computer
Hold down the C key as soon as the computer starts to boot....this should boot you straight into the cdDon't forget to use the new User Reputation System

Tried that. Same issue. It just locks up. But thanks for the help.
Also I have tried taking the battery out and booting it only with the power cable and the same problem occurs. Could it be the media. This is a burnt backup copy of OSX. The CDs are perfect copies that is why I didn't think to mention it.

How did you copy the OS X CD?
