Hi
I picked up a used emac, for my mother and am trying to do a clean reinstall.
The machine is an emac 1Ghz G-4.
I tried using the disc I got with the machine, black X disc OS 10.4, but it would not work, it kept saying something was wrong with the disc. It looks fine a few light scratches but no more than a cd.
So I tried my own OS X discs the grey ones that came with my original machine.
It would get to the second disc, Idvd portion and not go any further. It sat all night and would not do any more.
It is now stuck in the mode of "please insert disc 2" but every time I do it freezes or strarts going "preparing for installation" and comes to a stop.
I think I have now partially erased the old system so I cannot just forget about it and use what was on it.
help, I am not very good with these
