[QUOTE="Autozaf, post: 999754, member: 143986"] Hello, A friend had passed me an iBook G4 recently with a dead HDD that required replacing. The HDD has been replaced and now he has been out and bought a new copy of OSX to be installed. On booting the mac with the first disk inserted, a diagnostic page is returned where the first line reports: panic (cpu 0 caller 0x002DFCA4): Unable to find driver for this platform: "PowerBook6,7". From what I can find, it looks like this error relates to the software not being suitable for this model of iBook. The model of the mac is A1133. The 2 disks provided look to be authentic Apple disks. They are titled: MacBook Pro, Mac OS X Install Disc 1, Mac OS version 10.4.5 AHT version 3A107, Disc version 1.1, 2Z691-5792-1 with the second one reading Mac OS X install Disc 2, Disc version 1.0 2Z691-5607-A The description of the packing note reads: New Apple Tiger OS X 10.4.5 MacBook pro DVD software. I have seen many threads on variuos sites that confirm that such an error message relates to the wrong software being used, so my question is two fold. Firstly, have I been supplied with an incorrect media set for this mac? and then, What should the correct disks be marked as for this unit? Many thanks for your time, Garry [/QUOTE]
