The reason why its a single lay is the person who compiled it probably took out all the PowerPC code. Only fix would be to buy leopard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that didnt work then it may have not burnt right Did you use disk utility at the lowest burn speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobi Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 If that didnt work then it may have not burnt right Did you use disk utility at the lowest burn speed? Thanks for your replies. I appreciate it. I burn it at 4x and now I am doing it at 2.4x to make sure that's not the case I also tried this method eventhough I didnt remove any files as suggested on this website linked below http://www.canhesaythat.com/?p=75 When i extract the iso files on my macbook, these are the files that i see: (1) etc (2) install mac os x (3) instructions (4) optional installs (5) tmp (6) var I click on install mac os x on my ibook and it says restart to install. I did that but when it tries to boot from CD, i get the folder with the finder face and a question mark before it boots back into tiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
