Hey all.

I bought Leopard Family Pack and have successfully installed it on my Macbook. When I tried installing it on my wife's Powerbook G4, an exclamation point inside a yellow triangle appeared next to my HD icon when it prompted me to choose a destination.

The following text appeared: "You cannot install Mac OSX on this volume without changing your installation settings. Click Option to change settings. The contents of this volume cannot be changed."

After choosing Options, the following text appeared: "The destination disk must be erased for installation."

It seems my only option is to completely erase my HD and start over again.

Again, the install disk doesn't seem damaged. It installed perfectly on my Macbook. The Powerbook is two years old and is running 10.4.10.

The same error with the same text appeared when I attempted to install on my Macbook Pro at work. Same thing. Exactly.

Any ideas?

Thanks and sorry for such a long post,
