The internal HD from my iMacG5 is gone, and i have changed it a couple of times, and it still breaks.
Now I am trying to instal the Mac OS in ans external HD and use it from there.
I have a brand new G-Drive with firewire connection, and the instalation disk says I cannot install the OS system from it.
What is wrong?
How does the drive has to be formatted?
Thanks

For a PowerPC Mac, the drive needs to be a FireWire drive using the APM partition map, and the install DVD cannot be one designed for a different Mac model.
Allan, did you see the 'G5' and 'Mac OS X 10.1' above?

Read too fast and missed it. G5 was so long ago.

There's an obvious typo in the OP's equipment line too. The first G5 iMacs shipped with 10.3.5 according to the MacTracker database.
