Hello All,
I purchased a retail version of Tiger and have been trying to install it all weekend. My superdrive is the original pioneer drive that came with my dual 1.25 G4 (mirrored doors). At first the dvd would be recognized and then ask me to restart in order to start the installation. I read about updating your firmware etc..etc.. i did that as well as updating the superdrive firmware via apple.com. The first problem was i would restart and then get the little computer one boot up switching between that and a question mark. I then ran into the problem of not being able to eject the cd with the eject button on the keyboard. I now go to system profiler and can see the burner installed but its under atapi and doesnt show the traditional CD drive pull down menu. It's in there but not being recognized! I bought a laser cleaner but have not been able to try. I know a lot of people have ran into similar problems... where should i take this now? any ideas or solutions?!?!?! thanks!
