This is a long shot but does anyone have a copy of Osx Tiger 10.4.x i can borrow to install back on my powerbook g4. I bought a new hard drive and didnt realize i lost my original cds. My machine is a powerbook g4 1.5. Thanks!! oh yea i live in the Buffalo area so if anyone is close thats a huge plus. ---

I have a copy, but it’s for hackentosh machines (it’s a hacked ISO, they trim out the stuff you don’t need and re-package it with a custom kernal and drivers for a PC)… if you can use it, you’re more than welcome to come grab a copy. ---

That won’t work, I tried that I have an iso of OS X Leopard that will fit on a single layer DVD. Unless you want me to mail you the disk. ---

Torrents are easiest, you can get any version you want very rapidly. Or install in with the PowerBook in target disk mode from another PPC mac…
