Error messages? System Freezes? (Sparks, Smoke, Small Detonations? ;-> ) Shouldn't need XpostFacto to install up to 10.4 on the B&W. You say "good copies of 10.3.3". Are those =Apple= disks or backup copies. That =could= make a difference as some optical drives refuse to play well with burned CD's or DVD's. Not as common these days, but the Smurf is a bit long in the tooth. Don't get me wrong... love the B&W. Have 2 operational and a parts machine.
