Hello Everyone,
So I'm back with another question about the iMac G5 (M9249LL/A).
The RAM was installed perfectly and I now have iMac with 2GBs of RAM and 10.3.9 installed.
So onto the leopard install. I have a Leopard image. (We bought a family box set and my parents keep the physical disk.) I burned a 10.5.6 image to a Verbatim DVD+R DL. Worked fine on my Intel MacBookPro.
When I insert the disk into the iMac, it spins, grinds and spits the disk across the room. (literally.) The iMac does read commercial DVDs perfectly.
So I have a DVD drive that reads commercial DVDs and CDs, but not the Verbatim DL DVD.
Is there a way to force it to play the disk or alternative installation methods?
I've double checked that the RAM was inserted properly, attempted to install Leopard via USB and asked the computer nicely, all lead to zero success.
I know about firewire 400. Would that work with an Intel -> PPC setup? It's the last chance solution, since I've have to make yet another run to Best Buy.
