How to get out of os x installer due to corrupt cd

Hey everyone.
I was trying to upgrade my mini from 10.3 to Tiger via cd. It was going well until the 4th cd. The cd didnt work and now I'm stuck in the installer and cant get out of it. I want to reload 10.3 for now and get a replacement 4th cd.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
mini    

I would invest in a DVD drive, and the mini doesn't have one? most Tiger disks are/were DVD (there was a CD exchange program).
Backup before ever doing any type of upgrade.
Get a copy of Tiger DVD 10.4.6 (current, $109 @ Amazon)
A sufficient FW drive and case.
You will need to repair your drive. I would not want to even try to do an Archive & install. Erase (after backing up what you need that is essential).

    I just got my new Q5 (Traded in Curve)  \i figured out most of the phone but have not been able to figure out how to get out of App's like Twitter or any browser Apps once \i am in there.  I used to have the nice little "back button" on the Curve but no more Back Button on this one  Ive tried swipping every which way but loose with no luck.  Even when I am in my photos, I can figure out how to go back to the main menu (other than to turn the phone off and turn it back on)   Is there a Back button somewhere or is my phone just not working right.  please help

    You may need to try this More than Once...  Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
    Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
    Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
    After you have Recovered your Device...
    Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...
    Restore from Backup  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

    When it goes full screen try moving the mouse up to top right of scren & see if there a double diagonal Arrow to click on.

    hi Jim,
    Is the recovery screen similar to these pictures?
    - Link to picture

    If it is then you just need to select "Normal Boot" (1st picture) or "Reboot System Now" (2nd picture) to get out and boot into the OS without losing data.

  • Is there a way to re set Lightroom to original settings, I have been playing around with it and got somewhere that I don't know how to get out of...not particularly computer savvu

    Is there a way to re set Lightroom to original settings, I have been playing around with it and got to a place I don't know how to get out of. Not very computer savvy

    To begin, quit Lightroom
    On Windows do the following
    Click the Windows start button and in the search box type:-
    %appdata%\adobe\lightroom
    Then press the Return\Enter key
    That will take you to the Lightroom folder (see image below)
    Select the Preferences folder and hit delete to send it to the recycle bin.
    Close the Lightroom folder and re-start the Lightroom program.
