[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 323672, member: 8287"] The DVD's that came with your Mac Pro will not work on a G4. First a G4 is a Power PC CPU while your Mac Pro is Intel. Intel OSX will not boot on a PPC machine. Also Apple usually makes the install media that ships with a machine like your Mac Pro for that machine and it will not always work with a different mac. You will need a copy of OSX for the Power PC. Then it should install. To get the CD/DVD out of the drive, hold down the Mouse button after the power button is pressed till the CD tray opens. [/QUOTE]
