So i picked up a ibook g4 of my friend, i bought it for 300 bucks and made her a website.
The problem is that the drive in it only reads DVD's and not CD's. I put virtualPC on it and ran XP and tried to load a CD in it and it gave me nothing the drive was just called C DVD drive (i'll get the model name for ya later)
So she had 10.4 on it and thats what i need to run some apps, i didn't know the difference when i got it and did a fresh reformat and put the 10.3 version on it that i have the DVD's for. I have the ISO's for the 10.4 disk and i have a copy of the OS on four CD roms. How about can i get this new OS installed? can i run it in virtualPC? (i doubt it) I have a firewire cable and a PC thats firewire compatible it's just the cord i have is BIG to SMALL.
