[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1566369, member: 56379"] Of course the disks don't say "G6 iMac" on them...there is no such thing as a "G6 iMac"!! I realize that this is probably a typo...but I still need to call you out on it...since you are being so insistent!;) There were 8 different G5 iMac models. Unless these disks came from EXACTLY the same model G5 iMac...there's a very high chance they will not work. Again. OS 10.6 will not work on a G5 iMac. Regardless of this point...we know that the optical drive works...since you say you installed OS 10.6. If you were able to install OS 10.6 onto this computer...and if the gray iMac G5 disks are not working...then the problem is either the disks are bad (cannot be read)...or the gray iMac G5 disks are the WRONG disks for this model computer! I think that there is definitely a communication issue in this thread. If OS 10.6 is running on this computer...then it must have an Intel cpu...and you clearly have misidentified this computer as an iMac G5! - Nick [/QUOTE]
