Yo man, u and I are in the same boat. But this is what you NEED TO DO!!! READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY SO AS NOT TO MESS UP!!!
Ask your mate what type of comp he has... if he has an intel and you dont, the disk wont work... if he has a macbook and you dont, the disks wont work. Only if your computers are both the same TYPE (Intel, Macbook, PowerPC, G2, G3 etc) will the disks work!!! Also compare the requirements for 10.4.0 on apple.com w/ those on your comp... good luck!

PS: If you put in the disk and it takes you to this really funky page that gives you all of these errors, turn off the comp, then turn back on WHILE HOLDING DOWN THE MOUSE BUTTON (or the left button if u have a windows-type mouse)!!! THis will eject the disk and you can go find a mate w/ a disk that is compatible w/ your comp.
