Hello,

I bought a Power Mac G5 recently and wondered if there is a way I can use the OS X Install disc that came with it to install 10.4 onto my old G3 ibook. When I try and install it, it just says "Cannot run on this computer".
Does anyone know of a way around?

Cheers.

Apple's EULA violation aside, there is no way around, you can't use that disk. It is hardware specific and will work only on the Power Mac. Either buy a full install OS X Tiger 10.4.x off of eBay or keep the OS version you already have on the iBook.
