I have a DVI, 1Ghz, TiBook with 1 gig of RAM. I cannot get my Tiger DVD to install on it. In fact, it won’t even mount. It self ejects. When I put it in and use the “C” key or any other key sequence on start up, it ejects. The TiBook has the standard CD-RW/DVD ROM drive. The TiBook will mount and read any other DVD I put in it.

The Tiger DVD does mount on my desktop Mac.

I have read the Apple info on the Tiger install disk ejecting. None of that seems to apply to my situation.

I have fixed permissions and run Disk Warrior.

Can anyone help me out?:confused

Sounds like your Tiger install disk is messed up. Check it for scratches. You may need to get a replacement.

As stated above, it DOES mount on my desktop and is readable.

Is it the full store bought DVD or is it from another mac? Some DVDs are Mac specific. Apple does this so you don't share!

It is a retail version.
