How to install 10.4 onto a FWHD?

Hello all, I have an ext FW HD installed with a bootable OS 10.3.9, works fine. When I try to use the 10.4 install disk, the installer advises that 10.4 can't be installed onto that drive. Can't even use the archive & install option. What have I missed?
Thanks
Aluminium Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

Thanks, but I couldn't even get that far. I inserted the install CD, clicked on the "Install Tiger 10.4" icon. This shuts down the computer and reboots off the install CD. A screen then comes up and says something like "you can't install 10.4 on this drive" and offers me a restart button, nothing else. I don't even get the option of choosing a drive or any install options.
I have tried holding down the option key when restarting and selecting the FWHD but the same thing happens.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

    Does anyone know how I install Microsoft office onto an I Mac or if I even need it.

    If you need to write or modify documents made with Word, Excel, or Powerpoint, then you need Office. Otherwise, you don't. If you already have it then installation just involves double-clicking on the Office Installer's icon.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You need a USB drive to install the Windows support software. It contains all the drivers that your MacBook Pro needs, and you will have to install them after finishing the Windows installation. If you don't install them, a lot of things won't work: the wireless card, the sound card, the brightness, the trackpad gestures... Apart from that, you don't need it for anything else.
    Apple has released the official steps to install Windows 8 on a Mac, so if you want, print this PDF > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

  • How to install Snow Leopard onto external hard drive.

    I'm currently running on 10.5.8, and I just bought the Snow Leopard installation disc to update to 10.6.3.
    My mac has been running on an external hard drive for about a year. The internal just stopped working.
    I want to  install Snow Leopard onto my external hard drive, but all of my files are on there, and I read that if I do the install, all of the data will be erased.
    If I used time machine to back up the files before I do the install, are they at risk of being erased, since they will be back-uped on the external?
    This is probably super obvious, but I want to be very careful with this.
    Any help is very much appreciated!
    ^__^

    1. The data won't be erased unless a problem occurs.
    2. The Time Machine backup should be on a different drive, as drives can fail.

  • How to install Reader X onto D:/

    Previously Adobe Reader version 9 was installed on drive D:/Program Files/Adobe/...
    During upgrade to Reader X, Adobe DLM did not offer option to select location.  Installation went to C:/Program Files/Adobe/... and all of version 9 was removed from D:/ in the process.
    How can Adobe Reader X be installed on D:/ rather than on C:/?
    Is it possible to download an installation file for Reader X onto D:/, and install onto D:/ with help of appropriate switches for the .exe file?
    I would also like to install all other Adobe programs onto D:/ as well, and have uninstalled all of them at this time to avoid potential conflict.

    Try Downloading Reader build from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    then double ckick the installer (it will install in UI mode) and click on "change destination folder" button to browse in my computer. From this button you can change the path of installation. Let me know if you face any problem in doing this.

  • I purchased creative suite about 3 years ago for my macbook pro and have just bought an iMac and was wondering if and how to install creative suite onto my computer?

    I am aware that I could not use both devices at the same time and from what I've read on here, once you've bought creative suite you may install it onto two devices. I'm just wondering how I go about installing onto my iMac, also with consideration that it is a older version of Creative Suite.

  • Please Explain How To Install Windows 7 Onto A Samsung XP941 M.2 Drive

    I have seen a dozen posts saying that this drive is bootable on the X99 platform (ASUS X99-E WS) and another dozen people say that it isn't. Someone at ASUS support said that some of the XP941s are bootable and others are not. WTF? How is that possible if they are all the same? Will some please explain exactly what steps to take to install Windows? I have all the latest drivers and BIOS. THe drive is already installed for storage.

    The question really boils down to: Does the Asus X99-E WS support M.2 NGFF PCIe 3.0 x4, which is what is required for the XP941. M.2 support is too wide and uninformative, it may be limited to x2 and then the XP941 will not be bootable. Asus should be able to answer that. If it does not support it, then you have to either return the XP941 or use the ASRock X99 Extreme 11 motherboard or the Asus Rampage V Extreme, since both do support x4 if you need a bootable XP941.
    The Samsung m.2 XP941 is an OEM disk. This means you are on your own. There is no support from Samsung, there is no warranty and Samsung Magician does not support it.
    The companies that sell the XP941 to consumers, sell it as a replacement disk.
    Maybe this can be helpful: http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?board_id=1&model=X99-DELUXE&id=20141028220241736&page= 1&SLanguage=en-us
    The Asus site mentions on the Specifications page for the X99-E WS:
    Intel® X99 chipset : *1
    1 x SATA Express port, gray, compatible with 2 x SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports
    1 x M.2 x4 Socket 3, gray, , with M Key, type 2260/2280 storage devices support (PCIE mode)
    8 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), gray, *2
    Intel® Rapid Storage Technology supports*3
    ASMedia® SATA Express controller : *4
    1 x SATA Express port, gray, compatible with 2 x SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports
    ASMedia® SATA Express controller :
    1 x eSATA 6Gb/s port(s), gray, compatible with 2 x SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports
    so it should work with a bootable XP941.

  • How to install Flash Player onto a Kindle Fire

    How can I install a version of Flash Player on a Kindle Fire?

    NOBODY is selling 1st gen Kindle Fires anymore. They havent been available from retailers since late 2011. Android dropped ALL Flash support May 2012, and ALL 2nd gen Kindle Fire and HD tablets are no longer supported. THIS IS A KINDLE PROBLEM and NOT Adobe. People really need to take this to Amazon or directly to Android. Even if someone gets it to install using this workaround, it ISN'T supported by Adobe or Android.

  • How to install Flash Player onto E51?

    I really want to watch videos from my phone but unfortunately, only after I bought the phone did I realise that the latest Flash Player is not installed in this model. As such, most websites that I can normally watch videos from do not work (except for Youtube which converts it to RealPlayer).
    I read somewhere that it should be pre-installed, depending on the model. So in that case, why isn't it installed in E51?
    Is there anyway to do this? Thanks.

    i have same problem in my nokia e51 i cant see or watch any kind of videa from my mobile even for face book or youtube or even any site else and once i open it they give it me message error need flash player or the flash player what i have not support it so there any idea to solve the problem and i install the falash player 3.0v lite and only work to the file what i have in my memory not for the file online on website so pls contact me on
    thanks alot

  • How to install from DVD onto machine without DVD drive

    My boss has a laptop without a DVD drive, and wants to install Tiger. Tiger comes on a DVD. What is the best way to complete this install?
    If I put the DVD in my laptop, then mount it as an external drive will that give us access to the DVD within it?

    You can copy Tiger to CD's (if you already have the Tiger DVD's) and do the install from CD's. Or if your boss has a firewire port on his laptop you can plug in a firewire DVD drive and run the installation from there. You will need to hold down the option key to select which drive to start off of.
    If you haven't already purchased Tiger you could buy the CD version on eBay.

  • How to install Oracle 10g on to Red Hat Linux 5 Server

    I'm new to both Linux and Oracle. I've been working on an installion of Oracle 10g on a Red Hat Linux 5 Server for about 2 weeks. I've been doing a lot of reading about installing Oracle on a Linux environment. I finally got to the installation portion and the Oracle Installer displayed a message that I had to have Red Hat 4 or 4 Enterprise to continue.
    How can Install Oracle 10g onto a Red Hat 5 Linux Server"? Is there an option that I can use to bypass the OS checking?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately there is no way to access metalink without a valid account. You could then just try to skip preinstall requisites with this clause:
    ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
    or this method:
    Copy the oraparam.ini from the installation source install/oraparam.ini to /tmp directory.
    Edit the file /tmp/oraparam.ini so this file reads:
    After
    [Certified Versions]
    Linux=redhat-3,SuSE-9,redhat-4,UnitedLinux-1.0,asianux-1,asianux-2,redhat-5
    also, make sure you have these packages installed:
    # rpm -ivh gcc-c++-4.1.1-52.el5.i386.rpm gcc-4.1.1-52.el5.i386.rpm

  • How to install Win XP on Equium P200

    Hi guys,
    I found a very usefull tutorial how to install windows xp onto Equium P200 laptop.
    Problem is that when I have done everything whats in that tutorial (used nlite, made xp install cd with sata drivers) Win Xp is showing error.
    When u boot from cd, and all the drivers are loaded it will show me a blue screen saying that the installation was stopped to prevent damage to my pc, and its saying that the error is in file pci.sys ...
    Any ides what it could be?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    Im not 100% sure why this error appears but Ive got one idea.
    Possibly the installed Intel Matrix Storage Manger doesnt support the right chipset.
    Ive tow different Intel Matrix Storage Manger versions and both versions support different chipsets.
    Fact is that different Equium P200 series exist which needs different drivers.
    I think you should visit the Toshiba European driver page and should choose the right notebook series! Please compare the series number which can be found at the bottom of the unit!!!
    Then try the installation again!
