[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1310845, member: 42497"] G'day and welcome to the forums. You need an operating system, so pop in the Tiger disc, boot and hold down 'C' immediately after the chime, select language, do not install go to Utilities > Disk Utility and format the drive Mac OS Extended (Journalled), back to Installer and proceed. Now this will only work with a full retail install version of Tiger, which must be a black disc. Sounds like you have got hold of a silver/grey model specific disc which will work [I]ONLY[/I] on the computer it came with. [/QUOTE]
