trying to load OSX 10.4.9 to my OSX 10.3.9 G4 but am having problems. I go to install and when restarting as instructed, my system keeps booting off of my hard drive & not the disk? Any solutions? I've tried holding the c key... same result.

make sure 1) the optical drive is a dvdrom 2) the optical drive is set to master (can't boot if its not master on the front cable)
which g4 is this (quicksilver, etc)?

Hold down option at startup to see if you get a choice between the two -- the drive OS and the disc.

its relatively important that you at least verify that you have a dvd drive before we can help.
the pci/yikes! G4's didn't have dvd'roms as an option, and cdroms were still an option on sawtooth G4's.
check out wikipedia or your system profiler, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Mac_G4
