Use iBook Restore Disks on PowerMac?

[zflauaus]

I'm looking to buy a PowerMac G4 off of eBay. They all either have OS 9 or an earlier version of OS X (10.0, 10.1, 10.2). I would like to put Tiger on it. Can I use my restore disks from my iBook G4 to install Tiger?

Thanks!

No sir, it won't work.

Thanks for the quick response, even if it was somewhat painful. I saw a website online that sold old copies of Mac OS X. Anyone have suggestions besides eBay?

I say it is alright, and will work. And if it wno't there is no harm about it.


It just isn't legal....

Aaaaaand you should know we don't discuss illegal things on this forum. Unless you just got 500 posts so you could have an avatar.

hm... i think it really won't work. no way around it

the disks are checked to see if they match the hardware, which it obviously won't. I am not aware of any way around this.

iGary: Where exactly on Apple's site will you find older versions of Mac OS X (Panther, Jaguar)?

GimmeSlack12 & calebjohnston: I'm sorry. I didn't know it was illegal. So to speak.

macgeek2005: Thanks for the info.

Why do you need an older version? Tiger will work just fine

if you want them, you can buy older versions of Mac OS from Other World Computing
