How do you install Tiger using target disk mode?

Hi Diyan,
I had no problems once I got the target disk mode solved with one caveat - I had to re-initialize the G4's internal hard disk once I got into target disk mode. Given you have a new HD and are getting kernel panic messages maybe it would help to start with a clean slate. You can re-initialize the disk in the disk utilities. I'm by no means an expert on the subject but hope this helps. good luck.

Hi Nichola,
Have you tried a search on the support site with the error messages you are receiving? (Maybe your computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements to run Tiger.)

To re-initialize your disk, go into disk utilities, select 'Erase' and follow the instructions. This will erase and format your disk. Hopefully this helps, but I'm not sure if it will solve your kernel panic problem - maybe that's a different issue all together??

Hopefully, you've already backed up your important data, but you should try to use target disk mode to do that if you are still unable to boot up the G4 using Tiger. Good luck - hope this is helpful.

Worked like a charm! Obviously, I transposed the process, using the G4 as the target mode. Thanks for clearing that up Niel.
