If you are in the US call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a reasonable fee, they will supply a replacement set of system discs (if available).


The discs will be for the original version of the OS that was pre-installed when the Mac was manufactured.


If you are in another country:

Hope you only paid pennies for them! 🙂


Obsolete products are those that were discontinued more than seven years ago. Apple has discontinued all hardware service for obsolete products with no exceptions. Service providers cannot order parts for obsolete products. These include ALL G4 and G5 models.

First of all I would test these iBooks.


If you know someone having a similar iBook with original disks or someone having a black OSX 10.4 install disk, fine.


If you don't, download some Linux or BSDUnix CD for testing, such as Debian, Lubuntu or FreeBSD.


The easiest to install are in order: FreeBSD, Debian and Lubuntu, the ease of use is hte contrary (FreeBSD will only install a commandline).


When testing is done follow Klaus1's advice or get a second hand black OSX 10.4.11 disk.
