Q: eMac no os problem
hello today my copy of tiger stopped working on my emac and my eMac does not have a dvd drive in it so i put it in target disk mode and connected it through my powerbook g4 and it installed succsessfully. Well that is what it said. When I turned on my eMac it displayed a folder with a finder and then to a qestion mark and it kept flashing like that so I rebooted it while holding the t key. It wouldn't boot into target disk mode. My keybnoard is a logitech k120 and the emac is a 1 ghz 512 mb 40gb not dead hard drive. Please help and sorry for bad spelling.
eMac g4 1 ghz, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
