[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1611017, member: 56379"] Computers of this vintage when they came from Apple new…came with a 2 disk set that was gray-colored. You DON'T want to try & source these…because they are model specific..and they are not labeled specifically enough to find the exact set you would need for your model computer. You NEED to source retail OS install disks (disks that Apple would have sold to folks separately). Since we don't know the exact model Powerbook G4 you have…it could run as high as OS 10.5.8…but more than likely you want to run OS 10.4 (Tiger). Best place to source disks would be eBay. - Nick [/QUOTE]
