Thanks.

The ibook is spitting out the Tiger disk because Tiger comes on DVD and your ibook does not have a DVDROM drive.

Check to see if you have a CDRW/DVD Drive (aka combo drive) or a CD only drive.

Or copy it to an external drive or an ipod. I installed tiger from an old 10 gig ipod one time...worked beautifully.
