I have done the firmware update required for Mac OS X as far as I know. Can't remember the name of it but I definitely remember doing the update, and it said the update was successful.
Do I need a "system enabler" to run these disks?
I'm at a loss, but I'll have a much better idea later today where I'm at.
Well, ever since I got my iBook it has been ridden with problems, to say the least. Getting right on point, my OS X Panther install CDs that I waited 2 weeks for do not appear to work in my Macintosh.
At this moment in time I am in college, and have only tried the first install CD, however, it would not boot from it, and when I was in OS 9 and inserted the CD I was told the media was "unreadable by this Mac" and was given choices to initialize or eject.
So I have a few rough questions at this time.
->I have a suspicion the disk or disks may have been bent during postage. Is this irreversible damage?
->If only the first CD is kaputt, would there be ANY way to get Panther up and running with the remaining three?
->Is it a possible problem with my iBook itself? One thing did cross my mind is that this iBook came from, as far as I know, Britain, whereas the Panther CDs came from California.
->Have I just wasted money on fancy cup coasters...
Thanks everyone.
