I have inherited an eMac (ATI Graphics) 1GHz Power PC. I don't, however, have any install disks and the HD is wiped. My question is, does anyone know if I can use an eMac install disk from a later eMac design? I see some on Craigslist and/or eBay and I am looking for exactly the ones that would go with this Mac, but they are either high priced or non-verified as the install disks that I need.
Thanks all for any information.
You can't. Phone AppleCare and ask if they still have replacements in stock. Alternatively, you can use a retail Mac OS X 10.3 through 10.5 package, but won't have most of the eMac's other original software.

You must have your serial number at hand when you call so the phone clerks can find the right disk set. As the last eMacs were made in late 2005, they may no longer have them.
Thanks for both responses. I will follow your suggestions.
