Q: Weird iMac Leopard Install issue.
Hello All,
Recently Was given an iMac G5 With a 1.8Ghz PowerPC Processor and 2Gb RAM.. It works great, However it has Tiger and I want to Upgrade it to Leopard..
Here's where the Issues start..
I put my DVD In the Drive.. I know the DVD Works, I've used it on Many other Computers without a hitch. it brings up the "Install OS X" Window and When I click it, It tells me to click another button to restart and Boot from the CD..
It then restarts, And I can hear the Superdrive Working away (The Superdrive works Fine BTW) It then shows the Grey "Apple" Screen and the little wheel starts spinning, Super drive still reading fine.. Then the super drive stops reading (You can hear this) The little Wheel goes away..
Then it sits for maybe 20 Seconds and.. The fans being to speed up.. Slowly at first then faster and faster until they are just flooring themselves.. I thought this was normal so I left it for awhile.. 1/2 Hour later and still nothing..
Help me guys, I'm stumped.. I don't usually use macs.. So I have no idea what I'm doing..
Thanks All
