[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 36260, member: 2960"] That may be the problem right there. Are the disks the restore disks for the PM G4s or are they actually a full install OS X disk? If they are grey disks (the usual color for a disk included with a new Mac), then they are system restore disks and while yes, they do have the full OS install, they are configured specifically for the PM G4....not an iMac. While it may work for some, software restore/install disks are not garaunteed to work with any other configuration than the system they came with. This may be why the install starts yet never finishes. If they are the white disks with the leopard print "X" (assuming it is 10.2) on them then they are a "true" full install and garaunteed to work on any Mac. [/QUOTE]
