[QUOTE="andybowie, post: 935517, member: 129945"] [b]thanks bit more info...[/b] Ok thanks all, I have been looking at Firewire or wireless network remote install from my laptop drive. However when I try this the remote installer in utilities doesn't locate the OSX install disk when it prompts me to put it in though the Powerbook G4 mounts it fine. Any ideas? On the drive in my iMac I will try cleaning it if you think as it plays some and not all this may simply sort the issue. Also what if I just get an external DVD RW drive do reckon this would serve fine to do the install with my disc? Lastly, to answer yes they are original discs and of course I would mention the drive upon selling I had to take the sale off for the moment while I resolve this one :Confused: Let me know your thoughts guys, Andrew [/QUOTE]
