[QUOTE="eddacker, post: 1652521, member: 348930"] Hello: I have an iMac with a single empty partition created by disk util. I received in the mail today the 4 CD set of 10.4.3 Tiger install disks. I insert install Disk 1 and start the machine with 'C key' held during the startup chime. And I get the gray screen with the flashing question mark folder. Some how I was thinking that it would boot and start the install program. Silly me. Any ideas on how to boot this mac and get the install start_edd? TIA BTW - I have verified that my hardware is all good. I cannot find anything on Apple support about doing an install with the 4 CDs version of Tiger install. I used my 10.6 install DVD to bring up disk utility and do the partition. This is the only Mac computer I have. [/QUOTE]
