This should boot the old MBP into the startup manager, and hopefully you will see the SL OS X install DVD as one of the startup choices. Connect it to the old MBP and then start the old MBP while holding down the Option key. To try this, shut down the old MBP, insert the SL retail DVD into the new MBP, and restart the new MBP while holding down the T key, booting it into TDM. Doing it that way avoids potential hardware incompatibilities, since the same Mac that is to receive the installation also runs the installer. I don't know what happened, but assuming that the Snow Leopard Install DVD is a *retail version*, I would try using FireWire Target Disk mode "the other way," booting the new MBP into target disk mode to borrow only its DVD drive, and running the install from the old MBP as host. Substitute Tiger for Snow Leopard where applicable. Of course, somewhat different situation, but the approach should be the same.
#Mac os x 10.4 tiger cd download how to
Some ideas on how to do this from a post by jsd2. Even if your internal DVD/CD drive is not working, you can get an external bootable DVD drive at low cost, or use the method in the link I provided above.ĭo you have the original install disks that came with your iMac G5? Then you can boot from the correct install media and erase and install Tiger. These would be the Apple-manufactured DVD's and CD's, now being sold second hand.
If you have a working DVD drive or CD drive for your PPC, you can purchase from various private sellers the Tiger install DVD or Tiger install CD's. (I'm assuming it is not, but if it is, follks on these forums generally don't support such efforts.)
If it's (b), where did you get those "downloaded" toast-type Tiger install files? Is this some sort of bootleg effort to install without the actual OS X Tiger DVD. I don't understand your problem: is it (a) you have the Tiger install DVD but your Mac's DVD drive doesn't work or (b) you have a working DVD drive but you don't have the Tiger install DVD at all. It is possible to install Tiger without a DVD drive itself, see for how to do this. I agree, you will need to first erase the drive because you apparently cloned an Intel OS X system into a PPC, which certainly will fail to boot.
