You need a Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" retail installation DVD or CD. Find one on Amazon or other aftermarket vendor. They are commonly available, though the price can be high ($100 or so).


Be sure it is the full retail installation disk, black in color. Grey discs are machine-specific and will not work except for the exact same model Power Macintosh with which it was shipped.
