I gather from the fact that you are posting here that you are unable to boot your iMac G3 from the EZQuest drive. If you haven't tried that, then that is the first thing to do. Insert the Tiger disk in the EZQuest drive and restart the iMac G3. Hold down the Option key after the chime and select the Tiger Install Disk from the choice of icons once they've all loaded.
If that doesn't work then the easiest thing to do here is to:
All you are doing here is borrowing the other Mac's optical drive. There is no need to swap hard drives in and out.

Technically it's very possible though. The only thing I'l say is that you'll defintely miss out on certain Tiger visual effects as the video card is too limited. So long as you don't start to use high end apps you should have a good experience. (I'd guess you'll do the complex stuff on the G5/Mini(?)).
