[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 913881, member: 42497"] What type of Tiger disc do you have? By the sound of it a silver grey system restore disc which is very much model specific and which will boot only with the model it came with. Without Panther OS X.3 discs you will not be able to install that after formatting the drive. Your OS 9 problems sound like the option to install OS 9 drivers was not selected at the time of formatting when OS X.1 was originally installed. If you only wish to use what you have, and not purchase a full retail install DVD for Tiger, boot from the OS X.1 disc by holding down 'C" after the chime, go to Utilities > DIsk utility > Erase and wipe the drive. Then format Mac OS Extended (Journalled) making sure you select the option to install OS 9 drivers. Proceed with OS X.1 install, and then install Classic OS 9.1 and update as far as possible.
