Installation issues from 10.2.8 to 10.4
I'm trying to install Mac OS Tiger DVD. The icon for the disc would come on but when I click on it, it opens then after a few seconds of spinning wheel it closes. I tried clicking on the installer icon before it quits but no response. I've tried holding the C key while restarting and also changing the start up disc in the system preferences but this thing happens. A white screen appears that says open firmware and I'm supposed to type mac-boot or shut down. Either way, it won't start up from the install disc.
I already checked for firmware updates but there were none. I also did the disk repair utility.
I have the newer imac and tried the Tiger disc on it and the installer opens without issues. What's wrong? Thanks for your help.
