This is what I have: iMac G5 Power Mac 8,1 Power PC G5
Install disk set Mac OS X 10.4 When I try to install the operating system I get the following message: "This software cannot be installed on this computer." Why not? The hard drive has been zeroed. These are install disks for a Power PC iMac G5 unit. I have 4 PowerPC iMacs, as well as 2 Intel iMacs, and I am sure I did not grab the install disks for the Intel units. The disc says iMac G5 on the front of it. What could I possibly be doing wrong? -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
