Hi all,
I have a G4 lamp shade iMac which requires erase and install because
of some corruption
on its hard disk. Have not been able to solve it with Disk warrior or
Disk
utility. The screen remains grey.
The iMac came with Panther V 10.3 and was running Tiger until it
failed last week.

Hi Walter,
If you have the full retail version of Leopard, then you should be able to
boot from the install disk and do the erase and install.
BUT many of the G4 iMacs (eg mine!) are not supported for Leopard (processor
too slow) - in which case you will not be able to install from the Leopard
Thanks Ronda and Neil,
I have found the original invoice and the machine is a G4 17 1.25Ghz
80GBHD with Super Drive
so it should be suitable for Leopard ? I also have a full retail
version of Leopard which I bought
to upgrade my current intel iMac.
Otherwise I would be happy to re-install
Hi Walter,
Technically, you should be able to install Leopard on the late model 1.25GHz
G4 iMac.
License-wise, unless you got the family pack, you are only licensed to
install it on one machine (either the G4 or the intel but not both).
As far as I know, Apple doesn't have any active software
