Nope. You can burn a Tiger disk image then mount it. You need to do this from a different partition than the one you want to install to ie have to partitions or drives. Dobby.

Ignore overly complicated previous reply. This also works. Insert Tiger DVD in the DVD drive mac. Plug firewire cable into non-dvd mac. Reboot non-dvd mac and hold down T key. Start the install of tiger on the dvd mac. Select the non-dvd m…

You could just get a pop the dvd drive from the pc in the mac temporarily. Dobby.

A repeat from my post in the Gen bar. I installed Tiger from onto my non DVD MAC thus. On my Tiger mac I have a disk with 2 partitions (tiger and Work). I used Disk util to erase the Work partition. I then used carbon copy cloner to copy the tiger…

Sorry xav3x, I've led you astray. You can only mount hard drives and not removables. I'm just testing whether you can clone the dvd on to a partition and then install it as such. I'll let you know my results. Dobby.

I would recommend copying all data to another mac (if it lets you) via the T option. Then reformat the disk (long format) and re-install. It is very worrying that fsck didn't work. It could just be a bad block tho. A full format can fix this (as …

You could open terminal windows (under /apps../utils..) and do a $ top -o cpu (leave out the $) this will show all processes running, cort by cpu and will tell you which one is using what percentage of cpu time. Not 100% accurate but good enoug…

Insert Tiger CD in Server. Connect firewire cable between server and G4. boot G4 and hold down T (i think its called Target mode or something). You should now be able to install of the DVD drive from the other machine. Dobby.

Each SATA channel is independant and has the same specs. I run a bunch of Dual 1.8 an Dual 2.0 G5's with a 400GB SATA drive on each channel and mirror them. Dobby.

You need an original Apple drive. Any one will do. Buy a cheap (used) apple dvd-rom from e-bay or where ever and you can also install 10.4. My yellow dog (V3) also required an original apple drive. Dobby.

Create an nfs share. Open port 2049 (or remap nfs to another port) and mount the share from home. Should be fine with DSL. Now you can use the office mac for data storage. Dobby.

Are you running tiger? It could be spotlight. Do you have any network connections? Are you connected to the internet and its updating some web ad? Does it do this after a reboot? Dobby.

Why yes, of course. Dobby.

So creating a new user with the name xxxx doesn't work or just the new user with the same name as the previous one that screwed up? You could try deleting the user prefs using terminal and root cd /User/whatevertheusernameis/Library/Preferences …

fsck is for ufs volumes. I don't know if it alternates automatically to hfs. Try fsck_hfs instead. Dobby.

Burn the system folder to a cd and just copy it back. You might need a prog like disk warrior to re-bless the folder tho. Dobby.

If your plugged into the mains I wouln't expect the battery to slow down. Try removing the battery. How full is your disk? What software is running? Any Startup items? Huge Desktop size? Loads of crap on the desktop? Try. Create a new acc…
