Q: g4 erase and install
Hello Guys,
I wanted to begin with scratch and tried to erase and install the OS x but it did not work.
Serial number of device: CK***********L50
Before I tried to erase and install process I wanted to make a new admin account and delete the once from the earlier user/owner of the Power Mac G4.
SO:
1. I installed my ISO file for os x 10.5 on a bootable external HDD
2. erased the intern hdd (with disk utility)
3. tried to install but got the message that I could not install os x 10.5 (while it was already installed before I erased the internal hdd)
4. So I merged my 4 iso discs for os x 10.4 and made a bootable external hdd
5. I could select it at start up with OPTION but when it start loading I see after a couple of seconds black square and under it the loading circle (takes for ages)
There is nothing happening and I know I have usb 1 on the G4 but still.... My bootable os x 10.5 installation did not take so much time.
Does anyone knows what I am doing wrong?
Perhaps I do not need to merge the iso files but make each discs a bootable partition?
