[QUOTE="johnathan1, post: 1112998, member: 171357"] I would like to upgrade the OS on my PB G4 12" from 10.3.9 to 10.5.6, but the optical drive in the PB no longer reads DVD's for some reason...so I can't just insert the disc. I have tried connecting it to my iMac G5 2.0Ghz via firewire target disk mode, to use it's internal Superdrive, but neither computer will actually see each other in this mode. It's NOT working for some reason. Is there too much of an age/OS difference for them to communicate this way? I have tried booting up over the network, but that doesn't work either. What would you guys suggest? I have the retail Leopard install CD. [/QUOTE]
