*Installing OS x 10.5.6 problems* I put in a new 2 TB hard drive, it connected fine but I don't think the OS x is installing.
Alright, so I'll continue off the title. I got a used Power mac G5. There was no Hard Drive or video card, I threw in an old dual link DVI video card and a newer 2 TB hard drive (which connected fine). I'm a Windows PC guy, I know with windows you need a boot disc but I couldn't find a boot disc with all the Macs my friend gave me (Mac pro, Power Mac G5, lots of OS x's + around $400 in software). So I just now connected the G5 to my monitor, I didn't have a disc in (I just wanted to make sure the monitor worked) when I turned on the G5 the Monitor had a white'ish background with an icon in the middle that was a folder with an icon on it that changed from a weird face to a question mark. I then turned it off, put the 1 disc that came with the little box "Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6," Since there was no boot disc I thought maybe the 1 install disc had a boot software inside of it. Once the disc was in and I turned the G5 on, there was an apple symbol on the monitor and a "loading" icon. Then it changed to a black screen with green lines across it. After about 20 minutes the screen hadn't changed, there was no text, and I turned the computer off to contact apple support, after inputing the G5's serial number it said it wasn't supported anymore and I could only get support via forums. So here I am. Should I turn it on again and just leave it on? Was it installing the software? Do I need a boot disc? etc.
Thanks.
PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.5.6)
