Tiger 10.4 won't update
After having had to replace my HD due to failure I proceeded to reinstall Tiger 10.4 from DVD. After installation is complete I used a previously dl MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.11.dmg to update. It doesn't allow me to choose a volume. Get "This volume does not meet the requirements." This is the same dvd i used before. So it did work at one time. But now no.
I have googled the problem and found little help. And what I found and tried:
1 - removed /Library/Receipts and restarted and retryed to no avail.
2 - delete the /Library/Preferences/ softwareupdate plist with restart also did not work.
3 - Wiped the HD and started again. Same problem.
I am frustrated and at my wits end. HELP!

I would guess that you are using the wrong 10.4.11 combo update.
There is one for PPC Macs, and one for Intel Macs. Which do you need?
If your copy isn't working, you should download it again from the Apple web site.
Here's good links for both:
ppc only

Intel only

Rohan what is the OS version you have where you are trying to install this Mac OS X 10.4.11 combo [for your architecture]?
10.4.x?
What is the Mac model you have?
How is that disk formatted?Mac Mini Server | MacBook Pro | iPhone | Other Macs + a bunch of iPods, Newtons and other toys

Is that combo update the one for Intel?
(trying to install the version for PPC should give an error of that type).
10.4.11 would probably be a better choice than 10.4.10.Mac Mini Server | MacBook Pro | iPhone | Other Macs + a bunch of iPods, Newtons and other toys
