Hi. I need reinstall Mac Os on my Old laptop with G4.
I found ISO files with Installer Mac OS x Tiger 10.4 (4 CDs, Disk 1 650mb, Disk 2 650mb, Disk 3 650mb, Disk 4 240mb )
I burn Disk 1 on CD-R but did not begin boot.
CD-rom mechanics is OK, I tryed Linux installation and booting OK.
Please, how to burn bootable disk?
Thanks!!

This is the software I use. You should be able to find a download for Tiger on the site. Open the application, insert your CD, switch to the "Copy" tab, and drag and drop the image onto the window. Then hit Burn and you're off to the races :D

Because in shop in my city DvDs 8GB cost 20£, its too much (20£ is price this laptop :D).
I was looking for any ISO files for 2 discs and nothing.
