[QUOTE="examined_life, post: 684844, member: 60023"] Thanks for your help. I looked at the restore DVD and it says G4 on it so it is for a powerPC, but I think the issue may be that the PowerMac does not have a DVD as advertised. When I put in a regular CD, and hit the C button it tries to boot (and fails because it is a Windows CD) but if I put in a DVD, the CD fails to even spin. Or, I may have bad media; I put the Tiger DVD in my windows DVD drive and when I try to explore the DVD, nothing shows up. I am new to Mac so I am still trying to figure everything out. I will try a few more things and see if I can narrow down the problem. [/QUOTE]
