Need help installing classic/OS X (10.4) on PowerMac G4

I'm hoping someone can help me, my brother bought himself a new computer and gave me his Powermac G4 http://support.apple.com/specs/powermac/PowerMac_G4_Quicksilver2002.html the M8666LL/A model. Now this computer is a mess so I want to completely reformat the drive and install what I need.
Here's my problem, he cannot find his original disk that came with the computer. I want to install OS X and also have Classic run, I need classic for all the games my kids have that only run with OS 9.
Where should I start, I would like to have 10.4 on, can I install 10.4 and classic with retail copies. This is what I have:
Mac OS X v10.1 Retail (Mac OS 9.2 CD included)
Mac OS X v10.2 Retail
Mac OS X v10.3 Retail
Mac OS X v10.4 Retail
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, got real busy with work I have not had the chance to follow up. I will be trying this over the weekend, so lets see if I got this right.
Boot from the 10.4 Retail disc, reformat the drive, install 10.4 and then I assume I have to boot from the 9.2 disc to install OS 9 and after when I reboot into 10.4 classicc should work?

Need help installing Ubuntu Studio on my PPC G5 Powermac

I currently have a Powermac g5 PPC G5 DP 2.3. I have 10.5.8 running fine. I want to set a new partition and want to install Ubuntu Studio as my great love is recording and I'm dying to run Ubuntu as a new toy! What's the BEST build of Ubuntu Studio that will run on a PPC chip? How do I install it - will it boot from the DVD or CD? Also will it give me a dual-boot menu to choose what OS I want to use? Any help would be great as I'm a novice to Linux although I tried out a live CD on my Windows 7 laptop and was liking the new "drug"
What partitioning software will I need (hopefully to repartition on the fly) and what build of Ubuntu Studio works with a PPC and maybe some instructions is what I'm needing... HELP!
I do use Ardour and Mixbus on my Mac and actually enjoy it. OS X RULZ but I want to experiment with Ubuntu.

Hi Pat, it looks like it's Intel only...
Supported platforms
IA-32, x86-64

No idea if the original Ubuntu Studio 8.04 was ever ported to PPC.

Hello,
Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum.
Your computer comes with Win 8 pre-installed but one of the steps to install/run Windows 8.1 is having updated drivers for Windows 8.1
Please, go to Control Panel -> System (or Start -> type winver and open) and verify what is your current version - if it is Windows 8 or 8.1
Windows 8 is version 6.2.x
Windows 8.1 is version 6.3.x
If Windows 8 in place, then , please read this article and enroll in the steps:
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/pdf/instruct_update_win8.1_EN_tcm_245_1508074.pdf
Update to the latest drivers prior and post installation respectively for win 8/8.1 :

When you run the program, the system displays the following basic list with a the page header defined in the program:
You can trigger the AT LINE-SELECTION event by double-clicking a line. The system sets the status TEST and deactivates the function code PICK. The status TEST contains function codes FC1 to FC5. These are assigned to pushbuttons in the application toolbar. The page header of the detail list depends on the status.
Here, double-clicking a line no longer triggers an event. However, there is now an application toolbar containing five user-defined pushbuttons. You can use these to trigger the AT USER-COMMAND event. The CASE statement contains a different reaction for each pushbutton.
For each interactive event, the system decreases the SY-LSIND system field by one, thus canceling out the automatic increase. All detail lists now have the same level as the basic list and thus overwrite it. While the detail list is being created, SY-LSIND still has the value 1.

Need help installing Snow Leopard.

Need help installing Snow Leopard on a 2009 iMac. Hard drive is only choice for location and message says hard drive can't be used because it is used for Time Machine backups. Ultimate goal is to upgrade to OS 10.6.8.

Check to see if you have a file called backup.backupdb
If you do that means at some time in the past Time Machine was configure to backup to that drive
If that is not where you want your backup to to go, and it should not be stored there any way, then delete it and the install should work then.

Need help installing snow leopard on mac mini 10.5.8 intel based

I need help need help installing snow leopard on mac mini 10.5.8 intel based so if u kno how pls message me thanks
<Email Edited by Host>

You need to purchase the upgrade disk (it is a DVD). Then just put it in and run the installer. When it was first released it was $29 USD, do not know if the price has changed or not.
The usual precautions about backing up your data apply. In fact I would recommend either making a Disk Image of your current boot drive or using something like Carbon Copy Cloner to copy it to an external drive. I upgraded 5 machines from Leopard to Snow Leopard without any issues, but better to be safe than sorry.

Need help Installing Flash player 10.3 for firefox. It stops at 50%

So I have Windows Vista Basic Home, I tried updating my Flash version in firefox because it was out of date, but everytime it start downloading it , then I get the a message that says "Error " Appliation in use." I uninstalled it and followed all the suggestions on the websites nothing is working. I even uninstall google chrome thinking it was the problem but I'm still having that problem so I really don't know what to do because now the only place Flash player is installed seems to be Google chrome that I had to redoawload, but everywhere else tells me that I need to install it.

Need help installing Adobe Pro 9 to my new PC.

Hi albertc40027908,
You might need to deactivate Acrobat 9 from your old machine.
Then, install the software from a CD (if you have) and activate with the same serial number.
If you don't have a CD, then you might install Acrobat 9 pro from the below mentioned link:
Download Acrobat products | 9, 8
Hope this helps.
