[QUOTE="Ron6962, post: 1078371, member: 164270"] Thanks again, Nick. Sorry for the confusion. My reference to MacBook was on the initial use of the install disks I purchased from Apple. The laptop I'm having a problem with is indeed a ibook G4 14". I am not sure of the specs, as there is not a model number or any descriptive info that I can find on it. The OS disks I have are OS X v10.2, and I see your point about the difference between leopard and jaguar......the X on the disks are jaguar. I also have v10.6, but assume that is much too new to work on the iBook. If the OS version is the problem, would that give the error icons I described? Also...I've been reading several threads about logic board problems with this model Mac. Do you suppose that could be related? Sorry the questions are so vague, but Apple's error icons are not very well documented at all. Ron [/QUOTE]
