[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1291904, member: 56379"] If they're not the original disks that came with the computer...then they won't work. The gray/silver disks only work with the model computer that they originally shipped with. You need OS 10.4 disks that are black with a big X on them. Unless you absolutely need OS 10.4 (for various reasons)...since your computer has a "core duo" cpu...you could also install OS 10.5 or 10.6. - Nick p.s. By the way. If your hard disk is almost full...this can result in some BIG problems. You need to delete some items or back some of it up on an external drive to make room on your iMacs internal drive. An almost full internal drive can also cause problems when trying to install or upgrade an OS. [/QUOTE]
