that brought up a refresh button my hard drive and an arrow key. i chose the hard drive and advanced. now its sitting on the grey screen loading.
Its definitely getting hung up on something. Honestly, since you just installed the OS, I'd just erase it and try again.
i dont have the disks anymore. will these work?

That says it is for intel Mac's. A Powerbook does not have an intel CPU.
Why don't you have your discs? That's why they include them in the box you know. For exactly this purpose. You'll need to call Apple and purchase another set.
i bought it used and had to borrow the leopard disk to update it. should i just find the tiger restore disk online? or is there a way i could restore it without the disk?
