[QUOTE="gemlefab, post: 370335, member: 29925"] Hello, Until a few days ago I was running Tiger on my iBook G4 800mhz, but after having some problems when it would not boot I decided to go for a clean install - and only had orig Panther disks to hand. I ran Hardware test first and there was an error msg coming up for the hard drive (25TF/8/3: ATA-100 ata -6- Master). It booted fine from the Panther disk and in Disk Utility I tried to repair disks - when it said they were not repairable I erased them and tried to continue by reinstalling Panther. [B]Now it is just getting stuck at the "reading packages" stage in the installer and I don't know what to do![/B] The machine has 640MB of RAM so that shouldn't be the problem. I'm gutted as I just had to ditch my old G3 after it died very suddenly. Is it me?! Any help gratefully received. Thanks [/QUOTE]
