PowerMac G4
Hi

I have a PowerMac G4 Digital Audio with
[*] Dual 553Mhz CPU
[*] DVD Drive
[*] 768 mb Ram
[*] 80GB Hard Drive

I installed a new hard drive and got it formated in my hackintosh.So i put it inside my PowerMac G4 and got a Retail OSX Tiger PPC Version off the net.When i boot off it, it boots and goes to a White screen with a apple and a spinning circle.Which keeps spinning then stops.I'm sure that the DVD is working as i tried it on a Powerbook G4.

Please help :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Tell us about the Tiger disc. Black or silver grey?

Whilst we do not discuss hackintoshes here, actually how did you format the new drive? Formatted Mac OS Extended (Journalled)?
