hi nixgeek and deltamac - I really appreciate the fast response to my question. I was given a black OS X Tiger VER 10.4.3 with the macbook and told this was the only disk he had but I think you are correct that it is the wrong software. I will purchase Leopard and see how I get on. Once again...
Hi,
Thanks for the quick feedback. I tried this without success. It appears to try and access the disk but then stops and nothing further happens. I first thought the DVD drive had died but I can access it via firewire and open all the files and folders.
Apologies in advance if I have not done this correctly. This is my first posting on any help site.
I've a macbook pro that I cannot get to boot from the installation DVD (VER.10.4.3) I can access the hard drive via firewire in target mode and have been able to reformat it without problem...
