[QUOTE="warrenpoint, post: 1094800, member: 168233"] Hi folks, I'm wondering if you can help me? My work sold off some power Mac G4's (serial m8570) and I gladly purchased one. The machine has been completely wiped and when started you get an icon of a flashing folder. I have connected it to my macbook via firewire and holding down 't' and get the icon of the computers hard drive on my desktop. I then thought it would be a case of putting a copy of OS X Tiger in to install and selecting the desired hard drive. When I put the disc in I get the message saying 'it can not be installed on this machine' and won't give me the option to select the G4's hard drive. I also have a copy of the original OS X that came with my old G4 and have tried to install this via both the G4 and macbook but have had no luck. when I push insatall it asks to restart and then does do anything. Any advice would be grateful and you need an additional info just let me know! Thanks, Russ [url]http://eshop.macsales.com/images/Items/pmg4mdd250.jpg[/url] [/QUOTE]
