| Installation issue.
Hello I hope some one may have any insight to this problem. I have an ibook g4, 1.33ghz with 512mb ram. The system was having issues so I tried to re-load the operating system but each time when I get to the beginning of the install I get this message: "the installer could not validate the contents of the "basesystem"" What I have tried: 1. Used a different OSX CD to make sure it was ok (retail version). 2. Tried booting from a firewire drive for the install 3. cleared the nvram and pram 4. used disk utility to verify and format the drive Each time I go through the install I get the same thing. From what I have read is that it could be a memory issue. I took the ram out of this system and put it into another G4 and it works fine. Unfortunately that system does not have memory I can put into this one. Should I order new memory for this G4 or could this be some other issue? I appreciate any input you can give. Scott  |

When you're re-loading the operating system, what installation method are you using -- archive and install? Clean install? Upgrade install?

And which version of OS X are you installing in it?
