[QUOTE="GodLike1001, post: 1085143, member: 165938"] So i've got an imac g5 2.1ghz (isight version), which I just upgraded the hdd to 500gb. I'm looking for a fresh install of Mac so I've got tiger on disk. I put tiger in the imac and hold 'c', it boots to a grey screen with a folder and an exclamation mark. I put the disk in and hold the option key, it goes to a menu where an hour glass appears for about 3minutes before my tiger install disk is found. The install disk has an image of a disk with a small cross in the bottom right corner (i thought it was supposed to have an image of cd itself, but at least its recognized) I click the cd to install and it goes to a white screen with the apple logo, after a brief minute, a spinny wheel appears and spins for about 3-5minutes. The apple logo then changes to a cancel or stop sign but the spinny wheel is still spinning below...I left it for about 40minutes and it didnt go any further. I've tried several times with the same result, any ideas? Here are some pictures (click the tabs to see all 4) [url]http://imgur.com/GFd1A&cYBXT&TqEtd&gJ9h9[/url] [/QUOTE]
