Comment: I have a major problem. I got a great deal
on my new iMac G5 from a local
business. The machine was used but
only a few months old. When I got the
machine I got everything that came with
the iMac except for the documentation
and the restore DVDs. So I searched
eBay to find the restore DVDs that came
with the G5 iMac and purchased them.
This morning I erased my hard drive (after
backing up of course) and started to
install from the newly acquired DVD only
to have it error out before it even started to
install saying that it can’t install on this
computer! I have iMac G5 restore DVD’s...
what am I missing here. Can you not
install the OS from another machines
disks? If so how do I go about it? I have
already spent nearly $100 Canadian on
these restore DVDs I really don’t want to
purchase more software. Anyone have
any ideas?

Reply: (edit)The discs you have evidently came with a different model G5
iMac. Apple ships discs that are machine specific with new
machines.
