Trying to leave 10.2.8 behind...

Hi,

I have a 867 MHz G4 laptop - the old titanium one.

I'm running 10.2.8 and wanted to upgrade to Tiger.

I bought the dvd and have been presented with "you cannot install this software on this machine" I've spoken to apple tech people who assure me I can.

My firmware doesn't need updating.
I have plenty of space 20 Gb
I have plenty of RAM 768 Mb
I've repaired any disc permission errors

I've given up with the disc I first bought and have got my brothers 10.3 install disc and Tiger upgrade - this 10.3 disc doesn't intall either and gives me the "bundled Software cannot be installed on this disc" message.

Do you think the fact I have an old version of 9.2 on there could be causing problems? Or has anyone else had a similar problem

Thanks
 
What kind of discs are you using to try and install Tiger? They must either be specific to your machine (which they're not, since your machine is older than Tiger), or they must be retail Tiger discs.

You cannot use Mac OS X Install CDs/DVDs that are gray in color and specific to a machine other than yours to install Mac OS X. You must either use the gray CDs/DVDs that came with your machine, or retail versions of the Mac OS X operating system to install Mac OS X.
