Well, if that's the case and the disks you have came with the particular machine you're trying to install on then a trip to the Apple Store is in order. However you stated you bought 4 iMac's and mention two sets of disks that don't work, sounds to me like you have the wrong ones. If you can get one set to work on any one machine then use CCC to install to any other machine. I like retail universal disks because they work every where.
