[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1026971, member: 8287"] Is this the Tiger DVD that came with your iMac G5? I own the 20" iMac G5 2.1 Ghz with iSight camera. 250GB internal. If the above is true, boot up with the OSX DVD that came with your machine. When you get to the installer, look up top for the utilities menu and click on it and open Disk Utility. You will want to go to the partition tab and click where it says Current and then on 1 new. Also click advanced and be sure it's set to Apple Partition Map. Hit apply. Be sure you have selected your external drive first. Then the external should not have the red line through it. I did what you are doing but not because my 250 GB SATA internal was dead. I just wanted to see how the original Tiger install that came with the iMac worked Speed wise compared to 10.5.8 Leopard. I have 10.5 on the internal and 10.4 on the external. [/QUOTE]
