Hello all,
I am installing tiger on to my slot loading dvd g3 with over 256 mem, and It loaded the first disk correctly and then it asks for the second disk, but then it ejects it after checking it?? the disk is brand new and I have even used another disk with the same results. Here is a screen shot:

If you notice I cannot click on the CANCEL button, I have tried 4 times to reload, even not adding adding features of the second disk, but it still asks for the disk????

PLEASE HELP!!!

THANKS
DAN
 
I've removed your double-thread (you posted it two times)... If you try to install _just_ the base system, adding _nothing_ unnecessary, even things you believe you'll _have_ to have later, it should definitely not ask for the second disk. Either way. Can you cancel the process of _verifying_ the disk? I always do that, because if the disk is bad, the installer will probably notice that anyway. And if it's not _so_ bad, it'll install just fine.
 
Are these official retail versions of the OS X install CDs? Those should have a black background with a large silver "X" across the discs. If they are a solid color (possibly gray) without the "X" across the disc then that tells us that you're using discs that came from another Mac. I've seen this happen the discs from another Mac are used. Those are only meant to be used with the Macs they shipped with.

If they are the retail version of OS X, did you upgrade the firmware before performing the installation? Check the link below for your model iMac and perform the upgrade. You will most certainly need to boot the iMac into Classic to perform the firmware upgrade (Classic being anything from OS 9 and under).

AFAIK the CD version is *ONLY* available as a replacement for the retail version. Apple doesn't send out Macs nowadays with CD-drives only.
 
Ok thanks for the response, Im going to start over with 9.0 and then Update the firmware, then reinstall.
Thanks for the tips!
