- PB G4 15" 1.67 Ghz 1.5 Gb ram
My first post and am on my last leg on figureing out what I can do to get my PB G4 15" 1.67ghz 512mb ram with a new 320 gb western dig hard drive that I bought from Fry's electronics and installed myself. (since I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg and ifixit.com showed me how) Im positive it was the correct hard drive for the PB that I have installed.
My problem now is that I borrowed intstall disc for a Macbook and it was for Snow Leopord v10.6 which I now know is only for Intel based Macs. After reassembeling my PB I powered it up and inserted the disc 1 and held down C key. The menu came up and I selected English the pressed next. It told me that " this can't be install on your computer". I reallized that it was incompatible and only the v10.5 Leopord would have worked. I then used my orginal OS 10.4 tiger install disc to use as my OS since I don't have a v10.5 install disc. This is where im having trouble, when I insert the Tiger install disc that came with my PB only a blue screen appears... Nothing else, i have been told that it's a possiblity that I have corrupted the installation since I tried to install v10.6 and now that Im trying to go back to v10.4 it won't work. my discs don't have any scratches on then and have never been used, but when I called apple he told me that should buy new install discs since I was able to get some dialog when I tried to install the Snow Lep.
Please help me I have no computer and Im using my iPhone to gather any info on what I should do next.
Let my know if there is any more info one needs to give a better assesment.
