[QUOTE="lee_3033, post: 539226, member: 42716"] hi there, a friend's parents got her an imac for xmas, its a 1.25GHz G4, 80gb, 1gb Ram (or near enough, not exactally sure on the spec), anyway it has a combo drive (cdrw/dvd reader). The OS currently installed it Jaguar (OS X 10.2), so i thought i would upgrade to the latest OS for her, i took my Leopard (DVD-DL) copy round and the disc loaded but when i started the installer it said the hardware didn't meet the req. , which was ok, i would just install tiger instead. so i got my Tiger (OS X 10.4 ... on a DVD) copy from home, when i put it in the imac it failed to read the disc? (the same dvd loads up fine on ym macbook, to be sure it wasnt the disc i downloaded another copy of tiger, just incase), now i know it can read DVD's because it could read the Leopard DVD-DL fine, luckily i had the tiger DVD copy that came with my macbook, but obviously i cuddnt use this as the imac drivers aren't included on the disc. Now ive had a look on google for answers, and people mention that if your mac doesn't have a dvd drive you can get a cd version from apple, but cant seem to find anyone having the same problem as me, once again the problem is a imac with dvd drive cannot read tiger dvd install disc!
