When I bought them they were all "IMACG5 20/2.0GHZ/512/250" (Straight
off the receipt from Apple) I have replaced a couple of hard drives,
but they're still the same machines. I have not encountered this
problem before. I found a third set of the original install disks,
and they're not working either.
Can I install to an external hard drive (enclosure) and cheese the
iMac into accepting it that way?
Just a thought:- if in the time you've had these iMacs, they have had any
firmware updates through Software Update, that might render their original O/S
cds not installable...
