To install OS X (maxing out at OS X Leopard 10.5.8) you have several options regarding the DVD: The error message "10.3 cannot be installed on this machine" is out of place there. There has to be a typo in the OPs question that can only be corrected by the OP: I have a PPC G5, an A1181 MacBook, Firewire cable and the OS X install disk.Īnd the same thing happened as before: I can see the disk but when selected the Apple logo turns into a "no entry" type sign That also failed, the disk was recognised but when selected a "no entry"-like symbol displayed in the middle of screen and nothing happened until the fans went into tornado mode. So I then restored the disk to a partition of the HDD from the G5 thinking I could 'boot' from that partition and then install. I cannot use the drive of the MacBook to install onto the hard drive of the G5 because of an error that appears along the lines of "10.3 cannot be installed on this machine", I assume it's because of the Intel/PPC difference. I can boot into Target Disk Mode, the disks from the G5 are recognised. I have an Intel MacBook, an A1181 series. My current option is using Target Disk Mode and a Firewire cable (these G5's can boot from Firewire). I know the G5 will not boot from USB, trust me, I've tried, then I tried again. I've tried Everything I can but the disk is not read. Unfortunateley there seems to be an issue with the G5 reading or accepting the data from the disk. I have an old G5 PPC machine with no OS X installed.
