[QUOTE="sandnotoil, post: 799420, member: 31660"] I have been given a Power Mac G4, 733Mhz, 512 MB that is currently running OS 9.1.1. It has a cd drive, but I have an external Philips DVD+RW200. I have purchased a new OS tiger (dvd) so that I could upgrade it so that my work will be compatible with the intel mac (running 10.4.11) I also have. My problem as you've probably guessed, and I just found out off another thread, is that I don't seem to be able to install it because you can't install from an external drive unless it is through firewire (is this true?). The G4 has a firewire port, but my external drive doesn't!!!! SO, my question is: have I just wasted my money on buying Tiger or is there something else I can do other than having to buy another DVD drive with a firewire? Please help :\ [/QUOTE]
