[mk73]

Hi Ive Got A Mac Ibook Running Mac Os X 10.2.1 700mhz With 640mb Ram And I Want To Load Mac X Tiger On To It But When I Try To Load The Cd It Spins It Up Then Spits It Out I Have Even Tried To Do It By Resarting The Ibook And Holding Down The C Button

Well Maz, ... You Have Not Specified Whether Or Not The 'Tiger' Installation DVD (Not CD) Is A Retail (Full Version) Copy, Or The 'Tiger' Install / Restore Disc From Someone Elses Particular Macintosh.

There Were Three Model IBooks With A 700 MHz Processor:
'IBook (16 VRAM)' - CD-ROM Or DVD/CD-RW Combo.
'IBook (14.1 LCD 16 VRAM)' - DVD/CD-RW Combo.
'IBook (Opaque 16 VRAM)' - CD-ROM.

Also, You Are The Only One (On MacOSX.Com) Who Enters Text With The First Character Of Each Word Capitalized. Nor, Do All People Understand Cryptic Terms, Such As 'Ne1'.

The wasiest way to know for sure if you have a DVD drive is to Choose "about this Mac" from the Apple menu and click on "More Info". From there, click on IDE in the Hardware section. It should display your hard drive and optical drive info. That will help solve the mystery.
