[QUOTE="toplayr, post: 1090145, member: 167131"] Hi, I have a POWERBOOK G4 1.3GHz. I just purchased an iMac 27" and wanted to wipe my laptop G4 clean to give to my brother. The laptop was working fine just wanted to start NEW. I have an original TIGER 10.4 DVD. I did the install and the 1st time I got an error message. I did the install again and it went thru but it's always FREEZING on the welcome message. Sometimes the welcome message audio "skips and freezes". Sometimes It passes the Welcome and after it asks me for my @mac.com address and password, it freezes. I must have done the install 10 times, the further I made it was to the desktop and the I get a GREY SQUARE telling me to hit the power key a few seconds and it's written in about 6 different language and everything is frozen. But now, it won't pass the welcome message at all. When I had the problem I was afraid it was my hard drive that was going bad so I just put a new one in and the SAME problem is happening. I need an answer to this problem, I have no idea what else to do and I need this laptop working for my brother. Thanks all! :\ [/QUOTE]
