Substitute Tiger for Snow Leopard where applicable. Of course, somewhat different situation, but the approach should be the same. Some ideas on how to do this from a post by jsd2. Even if your internal DVD/CD drive is not working, you can get an external bootable DVD drive at low cost, or use the method in the link I provided above.ĭo you have the original install disks that came with your iMac G5? Then you can boot from the correct install media and erase and install Tiger. These would be the Apple-manufactured DVD's and CD's, now being sold second hand. If you have a working DVD drive or CD drive for your PPC, you can purchase from various private sellers the Tiger install DVD or Tiger install CD's. (I'm assuming it is not, but if it is, follks on these forums generally don't support such efforts.) If it's (b), where did you get those "downloaded" toast-type Tiger install files? Is this some sort of bootleg effort to install without the actual OS X Tiger DVD. I don't understand your problem: is it (a) you have the Tiger install DVD but your Mac's DVD drive doesn't work or (b) you have a working DVD drive but you don't have the Tiger install DVD at all. It is possible to install Tiger without a DVD drive itself, see for how to do this. I agree, you will need to first erase the drive because you apparently cloned an Intel OS X system into a PPC, which certainly will fail to boot.
