Original 10.4 Tiger install disc keeps ejecting

Hi Keith,

Does this MB have Firewire?

I have the same problem. Trying to solve it by installing the latest security update for tiger (intel). But I don't know if it will work.

OK, now we need another Mac with Firewire & an optical drive, or an external Optical it seems.

When trying to boot with a disc, it's say that the disc isn't compatible with your machine. ( I thing strongly. )

After you start up the machine normally, can you insert the disc?

You can manually delete things. You might miss a few things but you should get most.

start by deleting your id:

Create new Account

blue apple > system preferences

clicks on accounts icon

click on lock icon if locked.

enter logon password

click on + icon ( left side of screen just above the lock icon )

after creating new account, you need to logout of your current account.

blue apple > log out ... current count name ...

log on to new account. see if problem goes away.

if it has gone away rename finder preference ( Not sure of name ) ... reboot.
