hi all..
i have a problem with installing tiger on a blue & white g3 tower and i was hoping somebody could tell me where i'm being an idiot!!
the machine will boot into 9.2.2 with no problems and will read the dvd when os9 has booted. when i click to restart and the dvd is in the drive then the machine does its *bell" sound as it reboots then just sits there with a black screen - the dvd whirrs but nothing boots at all. the same thing happens if i hold down 'c' to boot from the dvd initially.
the firmware on the g3 has been upgraded and it has 570-odd MB ram and an 80gig hd (virtually empty) installed. i have tried another hard drive and dvd drive but still cannot get any nearer to getting the tiger dvd to boot.
i've had a look around on this forum but can't find a similar problem posed anywhere. can somebody help? please??
thanks,
d-sine
