[QUOTE="williamlower, post: 828537, member: 95405"] Thanks. Yes, my iBook is definitely a 700MHz silver toned iBook. The 700MHz was the last silver one, and Apple also released a white 700MHz. I understand that installing with the iMac onto the iBook hard disk is hard to comprehend working, but I have used the method many times before successfully. Some more information though, I have sourced the original Tiger retail DVD, as using the iMac's DVD drive (with the iMac in Target Disk Mode, so the opposite of what I did before; essentially this would be the same as using the iBook's internal DVD drive), the iBook wouldn't boot from the DVD. Also, verbose mode works. It just seems to stop at a different point each time I try to boot. There are a few things to note, such as 'boot cache too large for physical memory', it then goes on to create virtual memory and soon stops any activity. I have tried resetting the PMU too, with no effect. I feel like I'm running out of options! Any ideas? Thanks again, William [/QUOTE]
