Installing tiger on powerbook

[Gilgland]

I have a Powerbook who's hard drive died. I got a new hard drive and an install disc that said it is only for a G4 powerbook. i booted from disc 1of 2 and it let me selectEnglish as the lang. but then said "Alert this software cannot be installed on this computer" and gives me 2 options : restart or startup disc. It will let me run disc utility but it will not install. Any idea why? Do I have the wrong discs even tho they say g4 powerbook?

Are the discs grey?
If they are they should tell you which machine they are for

EDIT: Sorry you said it was for PB only.

You have formatted the drive, right?

Yea they are gray and say powerbook G4 on them. I have a 15" 1.5ghz powerbook.

Yes I did format the drive.

Did they make an install disc for tiger that was a full install (instead of an upgrade) and was not specific to a particular model?
