Comment: I am trying to install OS X 10.3. When I originally started I had OS 9.1 on the computer (PowerBook G3). But, when I popped in the OS X CD, I went to disk utility and formated the harddrive because I wanted to install OS X on a blank harddrive. Now, my problem is that when I go to install OS X, when I get to the screen where I choose the installation directory and click on the image of my blank harddrive, the image has a litte red "!" and the text below reads "You cannot install Mac OS X on this volume. An earlier version of Mac OS X is not installed." Thanks
This has been,Voletix

Reply: (edit)Bummer, You'll need a full install disk set, or indeed
10.2.x full install disks in order to get the panther in.
Previously there was a way to bypass the "upgrade"
situation but the hack, I believe ,was removed after jaguar,
when everyone found out it was there--and mac fix it and
other sites were forced to remove the hack from their site
by apple. Panther has run on my old G3's before I replaced
them with G4s so you should be OK there. Tiger will be
out soon and the cost of Panther will drop dramatically. So
I'd wait to buy any full disks, or see if someone wants to
dump their Panther disks when Tiger comes out. I've
heard reports that Tiger won't run on anything less than a
G4, guess we'll see
