Help! Tiger installation frozen and can't exit :(

[drewsteruk]

Hi everyone

I've come back to work to post on here because my iBook is not working...

I left Tiger installing earlier today, came back to the screen where you choose a language and fill in the activation key only to find it frozen and it won't let me out!!

I have shut down my comp and re-started but I keep coming back to this screen. Even if I remove the disk.

Can anybody help? I don't know what I can do to exit this process?

Please help if you can.

It is on the screen asking for my Mac OS X server serial number?

But, I can't exit or do anything

Are you trying to install the Server version of OS X?

I have no idea

My stupid pal give me this disc.

Are you trying to install the Server version of OS X?

Here's what's happened. He has given me the server version which I have now managed to install, even though it has messed my computer up.

Is there any way of reversing this?

Get the retail version of Tiger, wipe the drive and install.

Can I ask, how different is the server version to the normal home version?
