I bought some Tiger install disks on ebay that are the original disks that were shipped with a third generation PowerBook G4 (15-inch 1.67/1.5GHz) model in Fall 2005.
After trying to install Tiger on my 1GHZ 15" Powerbook with these disks and finding they are model AND build specific and I (obviously) got the error message that says they cannot be installed on my computer. Even though they don't work and I know it was my mistake, I am trying to figure out if the seller sent me two different discs so that I don't sell mismatching discs when I relist them and I obviously have no way to test them.
Disc #1 says it is Disc Version 1.1 with the number 2Z691-5517-A and Disc #2 says it is Disc Version 1.0 with the number 2Z691-5499-A. I understand that these don't work because they were meant for a later Powerbook than mine is, but why do the two discs have different numbers and version numbers? Did the seller mix them up? Please help.
Also-anyone want to buy them? I just want what I paid, $40.
TIA,
Megan
