Are they all the same model/processor speed? I think some machine

No, they are not tied to a machine's serial number.

You will also get this error if the hard drive is formatted with the
wrong file system, such as MS-DOS, or is messed up.
Boot from the installer, run disk utility, go into the partition tab
and re-partition the drive, making sure that the format is HFS+
(Journaled). Just select '1 partition' from
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 was for our G5 tower, ad I can understand why it didn't work.
Now, I do think I may have used the tower's set to do the re-format.
Would that cause this problem?

Ugh. I dread the thought of going to the Apple store. It's a 2 hour
drive and it is ALWAYS crawling with people. The Genius Bar is ALWAYS
behind schedule, and I just am not all that interested in losing 5-6
hours of my day AND having to pay Apple for that privilege.
