OK everyone,
Last night I tried installing OS 10.4.2 from the install disks for my mini I it would start the install and get so far then tell me their were errors restart. So I did and then it just repeated this. So I called a friend of mine at work who is also a Mac user. We decided that we would try a copy of his OS 10.3. It seems to be doing the same thing with the 10.3 disks. Do any of you have a solution for this problem.
