Hi,
I have a Powerbook G4 1.5Ghz and I bought Mac OS X Tiger for it. However, stupid me, I left the cd on the floor and someone stepped on it and cracked the DVD. However, my friend has a MacBook and will be coming in this Thanksgiving break.
I need to reinstall Tiger, so will his MacBook Intel Tiger work on my G4 Powerbook? If it does, I need to tell him to bring it before coming in to town.

If someone who has any expereiences or thoughts, please let me know!

Thanks everyone and Happy Thanksgiving,
Paul

No. The system is different on an Intel machine than a PPC one.
Signature depreciated.

I bet your local Apple Store would replace it for a nominal fee (or free) if you brought in the cracked disc.
