Jared:
To keep casual piracy at a minimum, Apple creates its restore/install
CD/DVD sets so that they work only with the specific model they
shipped with. The installer runs a utility to insure that the
computer is the proper model before the installation is started. IOW,
you couldn't use my PowerBook restore DVD on your iBook.
Since you have an iBook G4 and the restore set you bought is also for
a G4 iBook, at first blush it would seem you will be able to use the
CDs. However, if the G4 model you have and the G4 model the disks
were made for are different the disks may not work. For example, a
few weeks ago I took my restore DVD to a friend's how because his
restore DVD was scratched and not working. The only difference
between his PowerBook and mine was that mine was speedbumped. The DVD
wouldn't work.

Hello!
I have an iBook G4 that has OS 10.3.9. It came with OS 10.3.3 on
DVD. I bought a set disks of from an iBook G4 that have 10.4.2. I
would imagine that these two would work hand in hand, as I have an
iBook G4 and the disks are from an iBook G4.
I would like to know if there is any way that these 10.4.2 disks
wouldn't work.
The only reason I bought another restore disk for my iBook is
because my first one was lost and I could only find Tiger. Maybe
this will be more of a hassle. I dunno.
Just need some input on what you guys think!
Thanks.
Jared
