[QUOTE="JTAL604622, post: 590272, member: 47943"] I just recieved my first mac a used G4 MDD dual 1.25 with 80 gig original mac HD, 2 gig ram. I am having extreme difficulty and cannot find a answer. I have the original Panther discs and Tiger upgrade I insert the disc and it boots to the install screen and locks after the 2nd install screen, i think the introduction after the language selection. I then rebooted to the disc utilities and it searchs and comes back with a error message about a background application error and locks up. I installed a different HD 200 western digital and it will not boot from CD with this installed. I use linux on the laptop and am totally confused as to why it locks and I cannot continue. I went to single user mode and open firmware but it cannot seem to see the HD only cd/Dvd drive? Is there any way I can fix this without taking it somewhere? Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
