[QUOTE="ben1103, post: 1258635, member: 205829"] hi i am new to macs so i dont know a lot. i have a powerbook g4 1.5ghz 512mb that i was given for free from a friend. it was fully working running 10.4.11 until the previous owner tried to install 10.5 by restoring from an iso directly to the hd in use. i have no idea why he tried to do it like that. so now im getting a question mark on start up. i have read that you cant install 10.5 from usb on ppc's because they dont support it. i have also read that some people have had success in doing so. buying a firewire optical drive is more of a last resort. so is there any other way of getting any working os x onto my powerbook. thanks in advance. p.s. i have 10.5 on a flash drive ready for install. cheers.
