[QUOTE="ccskimmer04, post: 1143477, member: 131564"] i just used my mac book to install os x 10.5 on my imac g4. Prior to installing this I kept getting the screen with the face and ?. I used a firewire and went through the process of installing the OS from the DVD straight to the g4 hard drive. After installing I'm able to boot my macbook off of the Imac hard drive fine and it looks just like a brand new mac. I can even hear the hard drive on the Imac working on boot up. But when i turn on the Imac not connected to the macbook it just gets the face/? screen again. I even tried using option on start up and there is no choices for boot up. I'm assuming that means its not seeing the HD. But previous to this i tried using disk utility on the macbook through firewire to put Tiger on the hard drive and was able to get through the install of the 1st CD so it was able to see it then. Sorry for the rant but if anyone has any idea please let me know thanks [/QUOTE]
