Hi there,

I have a quicksilver G4 400mghz tower with 448 megs of ram an 80 gig drive with 43 gigs available and a pioneer dvr-111d drive, at the moment i am running Panther 10.3.9. I have purchased tiger 10.4 when i try to install it it verifies the dvd then go's to prepare the disk but then comes up and says there were errors please try installing again....

I would be grateful if anybody has any ideas what's going on

Thanks In Advance

I know that there were some issues with some of Apple's installer disks. Installation would fail with some error when the Japanese language translation was being turned on. Try hitting the "Customize" button and turn off Japanese and any other language translations that aren't important to you.
 
Try the following:

01. Boot the G4 with the 'Panther Install Disc 1'.
02. Launch (open, run) 'Disk Utility' via the 'Installer' menu.
03. Via 'Disk Utility's 'First Aid' tab (after clicking on the G4's boot drive in the left side list) - click on the 'Repair Disk' button. Perform at least twice.
04. Via 'Disk Utility's 'First Aid' tab - click on the 'Repair Disk Permissions' button. Perform at least twice.
05. Reboot the Mac to the G4's internal hard disk drive.
06. Insert the 'Tiger Install DVD', and attempt to install 'Tiger'.
 
Cheers Lads, I will give them both a try this weekend hope it works fingers crossed

Thanks Again
