Thanks for your reply Miriam.
I dont have bootable disk. I have a .dmg image stored in my mac. I want to restore it. I am able to start my machine in single user mode. How can I restore it using single user mode? I have two different partition and each partition contains an OS.
THanks.

Apr 24, 2012 12:17 PM in response to Sellby a brody,Unless that DMG was properly made for the operating system CD in question, it won't be able to create a bootable CD for your Mac. That said:
1. No PowerPC Mac came with 10.5
2. All iMac G5s came with 10.4.2 or earlier.
3. 10.4.3, 10.4.6, 10.5, 10.5.1, 10.5.4, and 10.5.6 "retail" installer discs will boot all iMac G5s.
4. Only the prebundled installer discs labelled iMac G5 that shipped with the Mac new will install Appleworks, World Book, Quicken pre-bundled, Quickbooks pre-bundled, games, and/or iLife prebundled versions that came with the iMac when its vintage was first shipped.
5. Article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2191 tells you what OS was prebundled.
6. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1463 helps you determine the generation iMac G5 you have, to isolate #5.
7. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2275 tells you what 10.5 retail looked like, and pitfalls for using 10.5.
8. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2541 tells you what 10.4 retail looked like, and pitfalls for using 10.4.
