[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1492652, member: 56379"] Need more info on the eMac (cpu speed). Not all eMac's can run OS 10.5...and if it can...it also needs a min. of 512meg of ram. Finally...even if this eMac meets the cpu & ram requirements...that disk you have may or may not be an appropriate OS install disk. - Nick Edit: I watched your YouTube video...and it seems that this eMac does meet the cpu & ram specs...and I saw that the computer does boot with the OS disk you have. So...the only other thing I can think of at the moment is (without seeing the disk)...if it's a "gray" disk meant for a different model Mac...then it won't work on this computer. The gray disks are model specific. [/QUOTE]
