[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1368672"] According to MacTracker that's actually the third revision Powerbook G3 but you are correct, it should be able to run 10.2.8. According to the product numbers you posted that looks like a retail install of 10.2 all right (white disc with jaguar-y X in fur and black dots), so I'm not sure what's going on there. It's possible disc one is bad, it's also possible that because you have OS 9.2 on there already it's having an issue with that. I would try making a disk image of your 9.2 partition to preserve it as-is, then removing that and wiping the drive completely (making one partition), then try the 10.2 install again. If it works, it will give you the option of installing Classic and want your 9.2 CD, hopefully you still have that. You can restore your own stuff from the disk image later on once you've successfully (I hope) put 10.2 and Classic on there. [/QUOTE]
